Scottsdale Construction Law Attorneys

As one of Arizona’s preeminent real estate law firms, Nearhood Law Offices has represented hundreds of developers, property owners, contractors and subcontractors in a variety of commercial and residential construction transactions in Scottsdale and across the Phoenix metro. We have the skill and experience to properly document a construction agreement. We also understand that a construction dispute can completely derail a project. We’re here to help you resolve these disputes and keep your projects on track.

Solutions For Real Estate Developers and Property Owners

If a construction or land use dispute arises, our goal is to provide clients with thoughtful solutions that balance both the legal and economic realities of the situation. After performing a thorough analysis of the dispute, we draw upon our extensive experience to develop and efficiently implement strategies that are creative, practical and cost-effective. In particular, we are intimately familiar with Arizona’s unique statutes regarding prompt payment, mechanic’s liens, and construction defects.

We represent property owners, developers, contractors and subcontractors in a wide range of issues, including:

  • Construction contracts: Construction contracts are a central piece of the development and building world, and these contracts must be well written and accessible to all parties.
  • Construction financing and transactions: We help our clients in securing financing and following through on transactions with detail-oriented service.
  • Licensing issues: Licenses for work on a building or licenses for your contractors and subcontractors come under threat for many reasons, and we’ll help you defend them.
  • Construction defects: Even long after the completion of a project, a construction defect can bring you back into the fold with potential injury liability.
  • Construction payment and collection disputes: Mechanic’s liens and other debt collection tools can vastly upend your project.

Where disputes must be resolved through legal action, you can depend on us to protect your rights while also emphasizing practical resolutions. We know in the construction industry that today’s legal adversary is very often tomorrow’s business partner.

We Solve Unique Problems Facing Developers

In Arizona, any significant land development project has to overcome a series of hurdles from environmental review to local municipal review. The use of the land, residential development or industrial purposes, will be closely scrutinized and objections to your project can come from any angle and in any conceivable purpose.

However, our firm’s history in Scottsdale means we know how to respond to even the most overwhelming objection to your projects. We have the important mix of legal knowledge and local savvy to help you move quickly and surely past objections and into the relevant working phase.

Before you ever break ground, you’ll need our help to protect all your plans and interests.
