The full-service firm for Alaska's complex future

Construction and Engineering Law

Construction law can be incredibly complex and having an attorney you can trust is imperative. Birch Horton Bittner & Cherot has an extensive practice in construction law. Whether assisting owners, contractors or project managers with funding and financing issues during conceptual design phases, providing legal advice and assistance during construction, or in the successful resolution of post-completion claims or litigation, our attorneys have broad experience assisting clients through all phases of construction projects.

Helping Clients Understand Their Rights Through All Stages

There are many moving parts when it comes to construction and engineering projects. From disagreements over the scope of work plans to a contract dispute between contractors and subcontractors, it’s important to have proper representation. We can provide you with an honest assessment and discuss the next steps. Communication is key, and you can rest assured that your concerns will be heard. We focus on managing client risk in a manner that controls legal costs. This requires early and careful evaluation of disputes to identify strengths and weaknesses, so our clients can pursue settlement or litigation based on a realistic appraisal of the risks and benefits of alternative courses of action.

Experience and Trust

For more than 50 years, we have been connected to the construction industry in Alaska. Our experience is diverse. We represent clients in state and federal court, including the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and the federal Boards of Contract Appeals. We also assist with navigating state and federal agencies on matters such as land use, workplace safety, and environmental issues such as hazardous materials cleanup. Whether it is negotiating on your behalf or fighting for your rights in front of a judge, look no further. For your construction and engineering litigation needs, we are the firm to trust.
