The laws affecting the construction industry are many and complex. They also are changing.
In less than one year, the current mechanic’s lien laws that provided contractors and materialmen remedies in California for the past 100-plus years will undergo the biggest overhaul since the 1870s. And new legal minefields will continue to crop up due to the courts’ interpretations of the state’s licensing scheme and other statutes.
With the introduction of “Beyond the Scope”—A Construction Litigation Blog, Cummins & White will attempt to provide business owners with clear and concise summaries of current legal issues confronting the industry.
Having worked in this industry for many years, the construction litigators at Cummins & White represent subcontractors, material suppliers, and general contractors. Our clients range from regional landscaping companies to electrical suppliers to Fortune 100 contractors.
We have found that in designing and building new commercial or residential properties, contingency planning is key to successful projects. Similarly, the construction litigation blog is written to illustrate options and identify best legal practices for business owners in the construction field. Our posts will be broad and varied, from labor and employment litigation issues to the hazards of “robo signing”, and issues involved in collections cases, among others.
We are pleased to share our knowledge of the construction industry with you through Beyond the Scope – A Construction Litigation Blog.
