Employment and Labor Law Practice - Construction Industry
Our attorneys also have substantial experience in employment and labor law specific to the construction industry and are familiar with issues related to multi-employer construction sites, including strikes, picketing and work stoppages, as well as construction union organizing efforts, including such practices as “salting” and “stripping.” We have also dealt extensively with the complex issue of project labor agreements. They are well-versed in the federal and state prevailing wage laws and have successfully handled prevailing wage audits, post-audit hearings and challenges to debarment and revocation of contractor registration proceedings.
If a dispute arises, our construction attorneys act quickly to work with our clients to minimize its financial impact. Our attorneys are adept at utilizing either the dispute resolution methods included in contracts or alternative methods of dispute resolution, such as fast tract mediation and arbitration to reach a fast, cost-efficient and successful result. When necessary, our attorneys stand ready to vindicate your rights in litigation.
