Rinke Noonan provides experienced representation to the construction industry at all stages of the construction process, from initial contract formation through post-project litigation. We actively assist clients with how to navigate through (and avoid) legal landmines, ensuring that they are properly protected.

Our construction attorneys are well-versed in a variety of issues affecting the construction industries.

Communication

Our Construction Law attorneys believe that the key to success in any construction project is communication. This means that the parties to a construction contract must effectively communicate their expectations at the project’s outset, and throughout the project. We work with our clients to develop carefully constructed contract documents to protect their individual interests. We advise our clients to follow best business practices, use carefully drawn contracts, and above all, deal with quality, reputable companies.

Collaboration

We work with our clients to identify their goals and objectives for the process, include the client in determining the strategy best suited to meet their individual needs, and then vigorously pursue those objectives in order to move the client toward a favorable resolution.


In addition to collaborating with our clients on a specific project, we encourage our clients to work with the knowledgeable attorneys in other practice groups when appropriate. For example, Rinke Noonan’s land use practice group regularly assists our clients with navigating through the project approval process; and our corporate practice group works to address organization, tax, and financing issues.
