Construction and Real Estate Law

The complexity of construction projects – large or small – requires expert legal advice to prevent or resolve problems that arise before, during, and after construction. Silver State Law’s extensive construction practice helps clients confidently approach all phases of their construction ventures and resolve issues to minimize problems, expenses and delays. We represent public and private owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and suppliers at every phase of the construction process:

• Advising on land use, labor, general business, and contract issues
• Negotiating and drafting design and construction contracts and other construction documentation
• Litigating and resolving defect and claims disputes, either through trial or alternative dispute resolution
• Helping with project administration and management issues to control downtime and ensure that work disruption is avoided or kept to a minimum
• Assist in Licensing issues before the Nevada State Contractors Board including license limit increases, bidder preference on Public Works, disciplinary actions, fine negotiation, and pre-complaint resolution

Mechanic’s Liens are one of the most powerful tools in Nevada.  Mechanic’s Lien can allow you to recover interest, attorney’s fees, and costs in addition the amount that you are owed for the work you completed.  However, they are very time sensitive and the deadlines must be followed. Don’t lose your most effective way to get paid by trusting an out of state service.   We will help you properly perfect your right to get paid using a Mechanic’s Lien.

Some law firms can only handle simple construction litigation or land use issues. Silver State Law is distinguished by our capability to handle all facets of any construction project, for any party involved, regardless of how complex it may be.

Because of their complexity, even the best-planned construction projects can lead to litigation. Silver State Law lawyers work to proactively avoid or resolve disputes, and frequently use mediation and arbitration of claims involving cost, design error and project management.

All key players in the industry turn to us for representation:

• Owners
• General contractors
• Subcontractors
• Material suppliers
• Architects
• Engineers

We represent their interests in controversies involving bid protests and mistakes, cost disputes, design error, defective installation and contract disputes. These disputes typically involve multiple parties and are highly fact-intensive. We use our industry knowledge to resolve the problem in ways that minimize expense and time for our clients.
