Seattle Construction Attorneys

Carney Badley Spellman’s construction litigation attorneys in Seattle are highly regarded for their expertise in construction law and construction litigation. The firm is listed in the Top 50 Construction Law Firms in the nation by Construction Executive and is also listed as one of the best construction law firms by Best Lawyers in America.  

Our attorneys have significant experience in drafting, negotiating, and litigating contractual matters, and their skills have consistently led to strong results in both trial and appellate courts. We resolve disputes for our construction industry clients through mediation, arbitration, settlement, and trial. While we pride ourselves on our litigation capabilities, we also recognize the critical importance of alternatives to trial and work proactively to resolve disputes before litigation becomes necessary.

Our extensive construction litigation experience enables us to provide the full range of legal services required to manage and allocate risk in construction transactions and disputes. This includes handling impact and delay claims, design errors and omissions, cost overruns, lien and bond claims, bid protests, indemnification issues, and insurance coverage disputes.

We have represented clients in construction disputes from Korea to Florida, and from Alaska to Colombia. Whether the matter involves a power plant, mass transit system, airport terminal, wastewater treatment plant, high-rise tower, or major sports stadium, we have the experience and depth to analyze, prepare, and—when necessary—litigate our clients’ claims and positions. We strive to become a true part of our clients’ project teams, embracing a “we, not me” approach in every engagement.
