Our Construction and Remediation attorneys provide strategic legal counsel to project owners of residential, office and industrial facilities as well as restaurants and hotels throughout Southern California. We advise project owners and boards of directors in a wide array of construction, commercial and real property related matters including construction risk management. Our experience in handling a wealth of transactions and disputes makes us well-versed in the legal issues arising within each and every phase of a construction project. Whether negotiating and drafting new construction or repair contracts for use in hiring contractors, construction managers or design professionals, or representing clients through all facets of litigation, we work to exceed our clients’ expectations while protecting their legal rights.

Our team of experienced remediation and construction lawyers work with the owners in anticipating costly problems such as excessive change orders and relocation claims. We have vast experience in reconstruction of occupied buildings. Remediation poses unique challenges involving relocation of owners or tenants for hours, days and sometimes months. Epsten, APC  has been involved in some of the most complex and largest reconstruction projects in Southern California. We take a hands-on approach with our clients working to achieve the best possible result, including risk management and lawsuit avoidance during the process.

Representative matters handled by our Construction & Remediation practice group include reconstruction projects, breach of contract, tort claims, delays, change orders, differing site conditions, disruptions, insurance issues, property damage, payment claims, mechanics’ liens and bond claims. Our work involves contract formation and performance disputes as well as complex construction cases, mediation, arbitration and litigation. When disputes involve defective work, our Construction & Remediation practice group works hand in hand with our seasoned construction defect attorneys. Our multi-disciplinary team approach is implemented with an eye toward protecting property investments and funding complete restoration.

The Construction & Remediation practice group is chaired by Jon H. Epsten.
