Construction

Overview

The growth of our firm has paralleled the growth of Louisville which is evident in our city’s vibrant construction industry. The Goldberg Simpson Construction practice serves the areas of construction and procurement law led by an attorney with both engineering and field construction experience, and staffed by attorneys with an understanding of this complex industry. This practice represents general contractors, construction owners, sureties, suppliers, and a wide variety of specialty subcontractors. From the standard specifications to bidding support, to administration of contracts, to litigation, we offer a complete spectrum of legal services to the industry.

Our attorneys have been professionally trained and certified as construction arbitrators and construction mediators in addition to maintaining traditional litigation and arbitration practices. We endeavor to use all forms of alternative dispute resolution to bring rapid closure to construction related disputes without getting bogged down in the delay and expense of a trial.
