Who we serve

Comprehensive support for commercial and residential projects

Behind every successful project is a legal foundation just as solid as the concrete underfoot. Rubin Rudman supports every phase of construction from the earliest zoning approvals to the final punch list, with a team that understands the pressure points, timelines, and risks that impact this industry.

We represent owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and material suppliers involved in both public and private construction projects, as well as residential developments. Our clients span the Northeast and operate across sectors—from transportation infrastructure and educational facilities to multi-unit housing, commercial real estate, and renewable energy installations such as solar farms. No matter the size or scope, we bring a deep understanding of the legal, technical, and operational complexities that can make or break a build.

Construction projects rarely unfold exactly as planned. We help clients anticipate issues before they escalate—and resolve them efficiently when they do. Our team provides comprehensive legal support throughout the construction process, including reviewing and negotiating contracts, advising on risk allocation, navigating lien and bond claims, and ensuring regulatory compliance. When disputes arise—whether related to delays, payment, defective work, change orders, or design flaws—we move quickly to protect our clients’ interests. We have a strong track record in construction litigation, arbitration, and mediation, regularly appearing in both state and federal courts and before administrative agencies. Additionally, our team develops tailored agreements for commercial, residential, and industrial projects, guides clients through public procurement requirements, and advises on claims management strategies throughout ongoing construction.

We work seamlessly with colleagues across our firm in Real Estate, Environmental, Land Use and Zoning, Labor and Employment, Litigation, and Corporate law to deliver integrated solutions. We support clients not just on construction-specific matters, but on the broader business and legal challenges that impact their operations. Whether advising on permitting hurdles, addressing workforce issues, or supporting mergers and acquisitions, we provide strategic counsel that’s informed by the full picture.

We’re set apart by our legal knowledge combined with the real-world perspective we’ve developed through years of hands-on experience in the trenches of construction litigation and negotiation. In a sector where time is money and reputation is everything, we offer clarity, confidence, and a steady hand.
