Project Counsel

A growing number of companies are turning to Finch, Thornton & Baird, LLP for 24|7 course-of-performance strategy and counsel.  These general contractors and subcontractors — both large and small — understand the value that comes with working alongside a highly experienced construction authority and legal partner throughout the life of their projects.

These companies need no further convincing that “time is money.”  They understand there is simply no substitute for resolving minor or major issues as they occur, or for building the strongest possible case during construction, instead of at project completion.  The economic benefits and operational enhancements that result from prudent course-of-performance strategy and oversight are numerous.

Our Best Advice: Don’t Wait To Take Action.

Too many times we see companies wait to take action — even when the handwriting is all but spray-painted on the wall.  Some simply hope their concerns are ill founded; some hesitate to “be the bad guy” for fear of rocking the boat. Still others opt to deal with the problem … later.  Believe us when we say: the earlier you identify the warning signs of trouble brewing — and take action to resolve festering claims and disputes before they explode — the less it will cost you and your business in the long run.  We know this to be true from experience.
