- Construction defects

Cutting Through The Challenges Of Oral Contracts
In Minnesota, oral contracts can be legally binding in some construction situations. However, proving the terms and conditions of an oral agreement is exceedingly difficult. We always recommend written contracts for any construction project. A well-drafted contract can help to prevent misunderstandings and protect all parties involved.
If you are involved in a dispute involving an oral contract, having skilled construction dispute lawyers and contract dispute lawyers by your side is crucial. We can help you gather evidence, establish the terms of the agreement and present a compelling case to protect your rights.
What Are Mechanic’s Liens And How Do They Work?
A mechanic’s lien is a type of claim against a property. Typical parties that file mechanic’s liens include contractors and subcontractors or suppliers. They may not have received payment for their labor or the materials provided.
To file a mechanic’s lien, the claimant must typically complete a lien form and submit it to the local county recorder’s office within a specific timeframe after work completion, often 120 days. It is essential to notify the property owner about the lien.
If another party has filed a lien against you, resolving it involves paying the owed amount or disputing the claim with your construction litigation attorney if incorrect.
Effective Solutions To Disputes, Including Litigation
We believe in exploring all avenues to resolve construction disputes efficiently and effectively. We often utilize alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, such as mediation and arbitration, to help our clients avoid the time and expense of litigation. However, we also recognize that litigation is sometimes necessary. We are seasoned litigators who are not afraid to fight for our clients’ rights in court. Our construction litigation attorneys have a strong track record of success representing clients in a wide range of construction disputes.
