Construction and Condominium Attorneys: Lewin Law Group

Construction projects are inherently complicated endeavors. Managing a condominium building or development offers the challenges of managing the building well while keeping owners happy. Finding the right people, understanding the economics of the deal, coordinating the sequence of work, and making sure that things get done right is an enormously challenging responsibility whether that means putting up a building or contracting for a new elevator system. Ultimately, the successful project and the successful condominium association is one that plans and controls for risk and minimizes the damage when bad things happen.  Projects for condominium associations in particular can be trying, as they involve not just the contracts for construction but also the approval procedures to make sure the association is in compliance with all Declarations and By-Laws.  Whether your project is a condominium facade repair, a new high rise, road construction, a hospital, or a shopping center, your construction lawyers should know how to manage the risk involved with all stages of your development.

To deliver a project on time and on budget, Lewin Law Group can draft contracts that provide assurance that the job will get done and protection if it does not.  Many owners and contractors do not sufficiently plan for risk, including performance failure by their subs, workplace injuries, buyer rejection of the final project, or inadequate insurance.  Many subcontractors sign on to contracts without a full understanding of the risk they are assuming.  Lewin Law Group can help you reduce that risk.

The Challenges Faced by Condominium Associations and HOAs

Condominium associations and home owners' associations face unique problems when a renovation is required. Like any owner, the association needs attorneys that will make sure that the association's interests are contractually protected. In addition, the association must walk through the potential mine fields of properly approving the project, obtaining financing, and at the same time, keeping all unit owners in support of the project.  Lewin Law Group has extensive experience in this area and can make sure your association gets the desired result.

Construction Litigation in Illinois and Throughout the United States

Nobody enjoys litigation, but when it becomes necessary, owners, developers, and contractors need aggressive litigators. When things do go wrong, a contractor needs to have systems in place to understand and verify the problem and a mechanism for resolving it efficiently and cost effectively. If the parties cannot resolve their problems without the need for litigation, a contractor must have a construction attorney who understands his business and who can deliver results.
