Construction

The leaders of our Construction Practice serve as counsel on all aspects of construction and throughout the project cycle. They advise clients on contract formation, contract negotiation and contract modifications, as well as drafting language for contracts designed to increase projects’ likelihood of achieving completion on time and on budget.

We've helped clients facilitate projects in numerous states involving both new construction and renovation of existing facilities. In each instance, our advice added significant value by enabling clients to hit project benchmarks and openings without litigation.

Handling a range of agreement types, we assist with contracts that include general construction, design professionals, consultants and other critical agreements for casinos, hotels, restaurants and all other features of fully integrated gaming complexes. Involving the Fox team on the front end allows clients to avoid costly and disruptive construction litigation.
