Construction Law
Darling Milligan Smith & Lesch, PC represents owners, contractors, subcontractors and lenders on a wide range of construction issues. Our attorneys also negotiate and draft various types of construction, subcontracting and professional service contracts.
Our attorneys are well versed in Colorado mechanic’s lien law. We help our contractor clients preserve their statutory rights with respect to the execution, recording and service of preliminary notices, mechanic’s liens and the perfection of claims. In the case of owners and lenders, we advise them on lien protection strategies and disbursement obligations. We believe that the key to construction claim avoidance is good project management. While the attorneys of Darling Milligan Smith & Lesch, PC provide advice on avoiding claims, unfortunately, not all disputes can easily be resolved. Contractors, subcontractors, owners, lenders and sureties are often brought into the same forum; cross claims are usually plentiful and insurance coverage is often triggered.
Because of this, it takes a law firm that understands the perspective of the various parties, and their respective obligations and rights, to sort through the claims, maximize efficiency, limit expense and utilize alternative dispute methods, where appropriate, to help our clients protect their interests.
