It is common for issues to arise during a construction project that require legal assistance even before a claim is made. For example, an owner may need to know what steps it should take when a contractor unexpectedly fails to perform the work. A contractor may need to know how to protect its interests when an owner has unexpectedly refused to pay or has indicated that the contractor should stop work. There are countless other examples. In many cases, the parties‘ rights and responsibilities will be defined in their contract. However, there are times when the contract does not address the issue confronted, or addresses the issue in a less than clear manner.
