Southern California & Orange County Construction Attorneys
In Orange County and Southern California, generally, construction stakeholders continue to navigate complex administrative, regulatory, and construction law issues. VLF’s construction lawyers are taking on more critical roles in advising developers, owners, architects, engineers, builders, subs, trades, subcontractors, and suppliers in all market segments. Whether dealing with issues ranging from performance, compliance, or change order disputes, our construction lawyers are experienced in handling the negotiation, transaction, and litigation or arbitration of those disputes.
