Portsmouth New Hampshire Construction Law Attorney

Sherman Law has extensive experience representing commercial developers, general contractors, subcontractors, and homeowners in complex construction matters. We regularly provide legal advice and counseling on issues ranging from drafting and reviewing construction contracts to risk management and construction litigation.

Knowledgeable Portsmouth Construction Law Attorney

Construction projects whether undertaken by commercial developers or individuals carry significant risk. We have the insight and experience to provide effective legal counsel on commercial and residential construction projects. We have successfully handled a variety of construction disputes involving:

  • negligent construction
  • home warranties
  • negligent supervision
  • workplace safety
  • breach of OSHA provisions
  • breach of contract
  • intellectual property and copyright matters involving design professionals
  • contractor and subcontractor agreements
  • contract and specification of scope disputes
  • insurance coverage disputes
  • mechanic and contractor liens
  • payment and collection claims

In addition, we have both prosecuted and defended catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases related to the alleged failure to properly supervise workers and the alleged failure to utilize construction fall protection systems.

Dover Construction Risk Management

We provide a number of services intended to limit the risks faced by contracts, subcontracts, and commercial developers working on New Hampshire construction projects. John Sherman provides risk management and loss prevention seminars and guidance to private companies and public entities. We regularly review insurance contracts, sub-contractor agreements, and policy and procedure manuals to minimize the likelihood of construction disputes. We also counsel owners and design professionals on how to avoid copyright and intellectual property disputes.

Nonetheless, we recognize that no amount of risk management can avoid all litigation and we have garnered significant experience handling arbitration, mediation, and construction litigation related to home warranties, contractor-subcontractor disputes, copyright and intellectual property issues, and contract disputes.
