Laurie & Brennan, LLP is a boutique 13 attorney construction law firm and has one of the largest construction law groups in the state of Illinois. We provide comprehensive legal representation with respect to major local, regional, national, and international construction projects. Our construction attorneys handle all legal aspects of construction projects from inception through completion, including contract negotiation, team building, avoiding and/or resolving disputes, general legal consultation, and claims prosecution and defense.

Our select team of highly skilled attorneys guide clients through all types of project delivery methods and negotiate the contracts, all the while maximizing the protection of our clients' interests. We focus on dispute avoidance and resolution know-how to create team environments that encourage problem solving rather than litigation. Creative use of dispute resolution clauses creates more options for resolving a dispute economically and avoiding litigation. Because our experience in alternative dispute resolution includes both advocating for clients and serving as neutrals, we understand the process and bring a broad perspective and depth of experience to any dispute our clients may encounter.

Although we place a strong emphasis on litigation avoidance services, should the need to litigate arise, we aggressively litigate cases in state and federal courts throughout the country, on matters involving claims for defective design, breach of contract, changes in the work, wrongful termination, construction defects, acceleration and delay, payment and performance bonds, building code violations, construction failures, and warranty and workmanship disputes.
