Construction

REAVES GOVCON understands the challenges and complexity of the construction industry– particularly the rules and regulations that apply to state and federal public construction projects.

REAVES GOVCON helps construction contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and design professionals with the drafting and negotiation of Contracts, Subcontracts, Teaming Agreements and Joint Ventures. We also support our construction clients through disputes (through mediation, arbitration, and litigation), claims, and bid protests at the Government Accountability Office (“GAO”) and the Court of Federal Claims. Because of the complexity of construction disputes, we work hard to avoid disputes and address performance problems before they become costly and time-consuming.
