Construction & Design

Gibbes Burton, LLC has significant experience in construction and design law. Because a successful and profitable project starts with a solid contract, we participate with our construction and design clients in drafting and negotiating contracts. We have experience drafting and negotiating documents relating to project formation including: joint venture agreements, partnership documents, and consortium agreements. We are knowledgeable about various types of compensation agreements between project participants.

Our knowledgeable attorneys have worked with a wide variety of contract forms including documents published by the AIA, AGC, and EJCDC. We have also reviewed, drafted, and negotiated specialized contract forms. We have drafted and negotiated contracts for small and large projects – from schools and shopping centers to complex manufacturing facilities and combined cycle power plants.

Even with experienced professionals and the best of contracts, financially devastating disputes occur on large commercial and industrial projects. Gibbes Burton, LLC works with its construction and design clients to assure that sound contract administration and risk management guidelines are in place prior to project commencement.

When disputes arise, Gibbes Burton, LLC's experienced trial team represents the firm’s construction and design clients in litigation and arbitration throughout the Southeast.
