Construction Litigation & Real Estate Development

Construction Litigation

Real estate development in New York City and State takes place within a complex framework of common law rights and federal, state, and local statutory regimes. As your attorney, Warren Law Group will provide its experience, acumen, and resources to help you navigate the process and enforce your rights.

The most efficient way to resolve construction disputes is to take measures to avoid them in the first place. Contract disputes between owners and contractors may be avoided with diligent construction contract review and construction contract negotiation, taking into account such common sources of contention as provisions for the timing of payments, delay claims, insurance claims, home improvement regulations, mediation or arbitration requirements and procedures for contract default and termination. Similarly, Subcontractor disputes may be avoided with diligent subcontract negotiation, taking into account such common sources of contention as the provisions of change orders, timing of payments, labor law regulations, substantial completion and final completion, and the resolution and/or discharge of mechanic’s liens. The attorneys at Warren Law Group have experience representing clients in a preventative manner, including, but not limited to:

Negotiation of Contracts, for both Owners and Contractors
Negotiation of Home Improvement Contracts
Project Abandonment or Termination During a Project
Delay and Acceleration During a Project
Mediation and Expedited Arbitration
RPAPL 881 License Agreements for Access to Adjoining Properties

Construction and Real Estate Development FAQs

What is the difference between arbitration and litigation?

At its most basic level of divergence: Litigation is public and Arbitration is private, not unlike the difference between the United States Postal Service and FedEx. Both provide dispute resolution, but the private one allows you to spend more on better (or at least faster) service.

For a complete breakdown of the differences, review our blog: Arbitration vs Litigation

How much should you pay for a real property and proceedings law license (rpapl 881)?

Explore whether they are reasonable or not. If reasonable, employ your experienced attorney to negotiate for favorable terms. If not, employ your attorney to commence a special proceeding and then, while you wait all those months for justice, employ your attorney to continue to negotiate for favorable terms.

Jon-Jorge Aras is an exceptional lawyer. I hired Jon-Jorge to help with a Finra expungement and got it done for me in a fast amount of time. He took the time to understand my case and the impact the defamatory statement had on my career and my life. When I was arguing my case you can feel the passion as if it was personal to him. I highly recommend Jon-Jorge for your legal services.
