Construction Law

Construction Law & Disputes in New York

Construction projects involve high stakes, tight timelines, and complex contractual relationships. When disputes arise, they can threaten not only the project itself, but also payment, property rights, and long-term business relationships.

GK Firm represents property owners, developers, contractors, and business entities in construction law disputes throughout New York, with a focus on early strategic intervention and, when necessary, decisive litigation.

Construction Disputes We Handle

We represent clients in a wide range of construction-related disputes, including:

  • Owner vs. Contractor Disputes
    Scope-of-work disagreements, change orders, delays, cost overruns, and contract termination issues.
  • Breach of Construction Contract
    Claims involving nonperformance, defective work, payment disputes, and violations of project agreements.
  • Construction Defects & Deficiencies
    Structural defects, workmanship issues, code violations, and latent defects discovered during or after construction.
  • Construction Negligence
    Claims arising from improper construction methods, unsafe practices, or failure to meet industry standards.
  • New and Residential Construction Claims
    Disputes involving new construction, renovations, and residential projects.

Construction disputes often involve overlapping legal and factual issues. Our approach reflects that reality, focusing on how contract rights, payment issues, and litigation strategy intersect.

    Strategic Approach to Construction Disputes

    Not every construction dispute requires immediate litigation. Early legal analysis can clarify leverage, preserve rights, and determine whether resolution is best achieved through negotiation, formal claims, or court action.

    We focus on:

    • Preserving contractual and statutory rights
    • Identifying leverage early
    • Minimizing unnecessary escalation
    • Positioning clients for resolution or litigation from a position of strength

    When litigation is required, we are prepared to advocate effectively in New York courts.
