Haynes Boone is the “go-to” law firm for public and private construction matters. Our national construction practice has earned a stellar reputation in the industry with experience that includes all phases of the contracting process, from contract bidding and negotiation to contract administration and performance, to claims and litigation resolution, including termination.

We have collectively resolved hundreds of millions of dollars in disputes for some of the largest construction and engineering clients in the country over the last decade. Notably, a selection of our clients is ranked among the annual ENR Top Construction and Design Firms lists. Our legal acumen and deep bench of experience before federal, state and local governments, and regional authorities has resulted in delivery of successful projects across the country and internationally.

Our attorneys consistently demonstrate creativity and persuasiveness in all phases of complex construction contracting. We are well-versed in pre-award contract review and negotiation, counseling on contract administration issues, and resolving even the thorniest contract disputes through mediation, arbitration, and litigation. We appear frequently in federal and state courts, before federal Boards of Contract Appeals, in the Court of Federal Claims, and in arbitration, and deliver a long, successful history in mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

A significant portion of our practice involves federal and local government contracts in addition to representing parties to private construction and engineering contracts. Our team offers a multi-dimensional understanding of government law issues such as awards, contract administration, and performance, as well as claim analysis, preparation and presentation, the resolution of contract disputes and related litigation, bid protests, termination proceedings, and cost and compliance issues, including fraud investigations.
