Construction projects are essential to success for many Florida businesses, but they are also a breeding ground for disputes. With so many pieces of the puzzle, including property owners, general contractors, sub-contractors, material men, suppliers, and others, it is no wonder conflicts arise. Disagreements can have devastating effects and threaten an entire project, so it is crucial to retain experienced counsel to resolve issues before they worsen.

At de Beaubien, Simmons, Knight, Mantzaris & Neal, LLP, our Melbourne construction lawyers bring 40 years of combined experience to the table in representing clients at all phases of a project. We can assist with negotiations, budgeting, regulatory, drafting contracts, and other tasks, with a goal to preemptively avoid disputes. However, we are prepared to represent your interests in the event of conflicts, whether in arbitration, mediation, or in court.
