The fast-moving construction industry throughout Southern Utah leaves little room for operational error.

Proactive Contract Construction and Business Subscription Services

Most construction disputes stem from weak contract drafting or missing documentation. Waiting for a legal problem to turn into a lawsuit costs significant time and money. Our law firm structures our legal services around a proactive, subscription-based model designed specifically for small business owners and busy contractors.

Our monthly subscription covers regular contract review, proactive contract drafting, and immediate demand letters. This model gives you consistent access to experienced attorneys who understand enforceable contracts without the stress of unexpected hourly billing. By managing your daily risks early, we establish a secure foundation for your business. This initial partnership often serves as a helpful gateway when our clients later require high-value legal services, such as major construction litigation.

Enforcing Your Lien Rights Under Utah Law

Securing your right to payment requires strict adherence to statutory timelines. Missing a statutory deadline by even a single day could completely invalidate your claim, leaving you with few options to recover your hard-earned money.

Our team guides you through the necessary procedural steps to keep your payment rights intact:

• Preliminary Notice: Anyone seeking to maintain a valid construction lien must file a preliminary notice, generally within 20 days of beginning work on a property.
• Notice of Construction Lien: If payment disputes arise, you must record a formal notice of construction lien with the county recorder within 180 days of completion or within 90 days if a formal notice of completion was filed.
• Lien Enforcement Action: To enforce the recorded lien, you need to file a formal court action and record a notice of pendency of the action within 180 days of filing the original lien notice.

Resolving Complex Construction Disputes

When conflicts escalate on a project, our primary focus centers on reaching an efficient resolution that protects your commercial interests. We represent clients across all aspects of construction disputes, including scope-of-work changes, material delays, and construction defect allegations.

Our attorneys look at every available avenue for conflict resolution before recommending a long court fight. We utilize structured negotiation, private mediation, and binding arbitration to resolve payment conflicts quietly and affordably. But if another party refuses to act in good faith, we possess the extensive experience required to advocate for your business in state and federal courts throughout Utah, from local districts in Washington County up to Davis County.
