Clients who must pursue or defend contract disputes or protests need immediate response from a team tailored to address their specific matter. Powell Goldstein can meet this need; our construction team includes litigators who have successfully filed and defended protests and resolved all types of disputes through negotiation, mediation, administrative appeals and litigation. Many lend clients a unique perspective, having served as mediators and arbitrators in construction disputes, while others have prepared statewide manuals on construction agreements used by all state agencies.

Together, we have:

• Represented a U.S. ship construction contractor in $60 million claims for changes and delay
• Successfully negotiated subcontractor delay and cost-efficiency claims on a public school project
• Represented heavy civil contractors in pursuit of $25 million claims against a state highway department for changes, delays and disruption
• Represented a utility contractor in a bid protest against a municipal government for a system-wide utility overhaul contract
• Represented a U.S. energy company in a $300 million arbitration concerning the world's largest power marketing contract
• Represented a multi-national, heavy civil construction company in litigation against a workers' compensation carrier firm for mishandling claims
