Massachusetts Construction Law Attorney

When you are involved in a construction law dispute, you have enough on your mind, without having to worry about explaining specifics to your lawyer. Attorney John Davagian spent twenty-eight years as a contractor before opening his own legal practice. From contract formation to real estate development, at the Sudbury offices of Davagian & Associates, we can help.

Contract Negotiation and Construction Litigation

When it comes to construction law, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. By helping our clients negotiate and draft comprehensive contracts, we can help them avoid legal troubles in the future. However, disputes can arise from any contract, no matter how much protection it provides. In those cases we are ready to pursue all possible avenues to secure the rights of our clients regarding a variety of construction law issues:

• Construction Disputes: When the parties cannot agree as to the impact of the specifications of a contract, we will protect your rights.
• Home Improvement Construction: Make sure that your contract and contractor comply with the Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor statute.
• Marine Construction: The issues surrounding pier, wharf and port facility construction can be particularly complicated.
• Deep Foundations & Differing Subsurface Conditions: Have unforeseen subsurface conditions delayed your project and resulted in thousands of cost overruns? We can help protect your rights.
• Bond Claims and Mechanics Liens: If you are not getting paid for your work on a private or public construction project, we can help enforce your rights to compensation.
• Real Estate Development and Zoning: We can help you develop a comprehensive plan for every aspect of your development project.
• Commercial and Business Law: Whether you are starting a new business or managing a going concern, we can advise you on both the proper start-up documentation and the important legal aspects of running a successful business.

Construction Experience

Although not actively practicing law in his three decades as a general contractor, Mr. Davagian gained valuable hands-on experience interacting and negotiating with owners, general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, engineers, architects and labor unions. He secured and refined problem solving skills in a practical business context. That experience is reflected in his practice where he represents not only contractors, but also suppliers, owners, sureties and engineers.
