Construction

Dilworth Paxson's Construction Group has emerged as a regional leader in the construction industry. Its attorneys have represented major stakeholders in every significant Philadelphia public development project constructed since the millennium, including: the $254 million construction of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts; the $512 million construction of Lincoln Financial Field; the $137 million construction of the National Constitution Center; a multi-million dollar, multi-year construction of terminal at the Philadelphia International Airport; and a major capital improvement project on the Schuylkill Expressway, Interstate 95, and Route 309.

Dilworth's Construction Group attorneys represent owners, developers, contractors, financers, and design professionals engaged in public and private, commercial, institutional, and residential projects. Our clients include the largest engineering design firm in the world, the largest general contractor in the United States, and one of the leading residential home builders in the United States. Our Construction Group lawyers advise their clients on all aspects of construction law, from site acquisition to bidding and contract negotiations to project closeout, and any attendant litigation.

With a background in engineering, several of our construction attorneys bring a wealth of knowledge to drafting and negotiating construction and real estate development contracts.

The Construction Group's mission is to provide outstanding service and positive outcomes for its clients. On the transactional side, we seek to limit our clients' exposure to the risks inherent in construction projects. On the litigation side, we recognize how time consuming and expensive litigation can be for our clients, so we work to efficiently resolve disputes to achieve our clients' goals.
