Construction Disputes

Resolving Conflicts, Protecting Projects

Construction projects are complex by nature, involving numerous stakeholders, tight deadlines, and high financial stakes. When something goes wrong—whether due to a contract dispute, design defect, payment issue, or delay—the fallout can jeopardize the entire project. At Robinson & Lawing, LLP, we represent property owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and developers in a wide range of construction litigation matters across North Carolina.

We work to protect your investment, enforce your rights, and resolve disputes efficiently—whether through negotiation, arbitration, or courtroom litigation.

Experienced Counsel for All Types of Construction Disputes

Our attorneys understand the intricacies of construction law and provide practical solutions when disagreements arise. We represent clients in disputes involving:

• Breach of construction contracts or subcontracts
• Delays, stoppages, and liquidated damages
• Construction defects, structural failures, and warranty claims
• Nonpayment and mechanics’ liens
• Change orders, scope disputes, and performance concerns
• Code violations or permit issues that halt work

From small residential renovations to major commercial developments, we have the litigation experience and industry knowledge to navigate every phase of the construction process.

Local Counsel for Out-of-State Developers and Construction Firms

Robinson & Lawing serves as local counsel for out-of-state contractors, real estate developers, and design professionals with active or anticipated construction litigation in North Carolina. We provide trusted, on-the-ground support for clients navigating local procedures, filings, and court appearances, helping ensure compliance with venue-specific rules and deadlines.

Our firm is particularly well-suited to partner with general counsel or lead litigation teams managing regional or multistate portfolios. Whether you’re facing a lien dispute in Winston-Salem, an enforcement action from a building inspector, or a delay claim involving multiple subcontractors, we can serve as your North Carolina point of contact—strategic, responsive, and trial-ready.

Mediation and Arbitration in Construction Law

Because construction disputes can delay or derail valuable projects, early resolution is often in everyone’s best interest. We regularly represent clients in private mediation, arbitration proceedings, and court-ordered settlement conferences. Our attorneys understand how to prepare and present technical construction claims with clarity and focus, whether in front of a neutral arbitrator or a seasoned mediator.

We work closely with engineers, surveyors, and forensic experts when needed to substantiate claims or defenses, and we advise clients on whether to pursue settlement or advance to trial.
