Construction Law

Aggressively representing clients for 28 years, the attorneys at Kauffman & Forman, P.A. understand that construction, particularly for the subcontractor, is a complex and risky business.

Over nearly three decades, the firm has counseled subcontractors and suppliers of nearly every trade on matters such as delay and force majuere, wrongful termination, OSHA violations and compliance, design defects, differing site conditions and related matters.

We provide ongoing counseling regarding contract requirements and are available to assist in drafting correspondence in the event of a dispute. But more importantly, our lawyers seek to avoid potential construction disputes at the contract negotiation stage, by ensuring a fair subcontract that does not shift unreasonable risks to the subcontractor, including the risk of nonpayment.

The firm has extensive experience in construction litigation, successfully prosecuting hundreds of mechanic’s liens, Miller Act and Little Miller Act payment bond claims, as well as actions under the Maryland Trust Fund Statute and Prompt Pay Act.
