Building & Construction
Overview
Faegre Drinker’s building and construction team offers end-to-end legal support for construction and homebuilding projects. We represent clients in litigation and handle transactional deal work while also advising on labor and employment matters, banking issues, corporate governance, and intellectual property protections. With a deep understanding of the industry, our team provides strategic, business-focused guidance that helps clients navigate risk, protect assets, and operate efficiently in a complex regulatory and economic environment.
We also serve developers, contractors, and related stakeholders across a broad range of construction matters, including drafting and negotiating contracts such as EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) agreements, dispute resolution, and the prosecution of design and construction defect claims. Our team has experience in emerging and high-growth areas, including renewable energy and data center projects, as well as land use issues. With attorneys across the country, Faegre Drinker delivers coordinated, industry-informed guidance to meet your legal needs.
