DFL Legal advises construction companies and project owners on complex legal issues arising in high-value, high-stakes projects, both domestically and internationally.

At DFL Legal, we bring deep experience and strategic focus to the resolution of construction disputes in pre-dispute negotiations, mediations, proceedings before dispute review boards, nonbinding adjudications, administrative proceedings, jury and bench trials, and domestic and international arbitrations.

DFL Legal provides strategic legal counsel to help owners, contractors, subcontractors, project managers, construction managers and engineers navigate the complex landscape of construction insurance.

From emails to scheduling files to drawing to text messages and Teams chats, the size and scope of data on a construction project is substantial – and growing. DFL has a wide range of experience counseling on the management of this data and then using key pieces of that data in litigation or domestic or international arbitration.

At DFL Legal, we provide end-to-end legal support for construction projects of every size and complexity. Our practice is built around helping clients prevent problems before they escalate—through strategic planning, clear documentation, and responsive day-to-day advice.

DFL Legal has extensive experience representing and counseling its domestic and foreign clients in all aspects of institutional (ICC, ICDR, London Court of International Arbitration and AAA) and ad hoc (UNCITRAL) Domestic and International Arbitrations involving complex, construction-industry claims with hundreds of millions of dollars in dispute.

At DFL Legal, we help clients structure, draft, and negotiate contracts that align with project goals while minimizing risk and future disputes. We represent owners, developers, and contractors across a wide range of project types—from major commercial facilities to complex infrastructure builds to large-scale equipment incorporated into the broader project.

We are committed to protecting your interests and resolving conflicts efficiently—whether through strategic negotiation, alternative dispute resolution, or litigation in court. We represent businesses of all sizes in complex commercial disputes.

We serve as neutral third parties, leveraging deep legal knowledge and decades of construction practice experience to facilitate successful outcomes to construction disputes.
