William B. Hanley, Attorney At Law Oct. 3, 2023

Contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and developers are encouraged to contact William B. Hanley to schedule a free initial consultation regarding your construction-related legal matter.

  • Owner

  • Primary contractor, general contractor, and subcontractors

  • Material suppliers

  • Insurers, sureties, and lenders

  • Design professionals (architects and engineers)

  • Construction managers

  • Governmental entities

KNOWLEDGEABLE IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Each link in the production chain adds layers of complexity as well the possibility of potential conflicts. If you are faced with a lawsuit concerning a construction defect, you need an attorney who is thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the construction industry.

Contracts are endemic as causes of conflict within the construction industry as almost every stage of the construction process is regulated by an agreement of some sort. Some of the areas of contract dispute include breach of contract in contract clause interpretation, inspection of work clauses, indemnity clauses, payment of supplies, and liability to third parties. If you are facing action regarding construction defects, contact Bill Hanley for efficient resolution.
