Halloran & Sage LLP

Our attorneys have experience handling all facets of construction claims and litigation. We have a highly active practice in which we represent contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, owners, developers, manufacturers, sureties, insurers and design professionals in all types of construction claims and disputes on both public and private construction projects. Our experience includes claims involving state and federal bid disputes, mechanic’s liens, payment and performance bonds, termination and delay issues, scope-of-work disputes, unforeseen and differing site conditions, construction defects, insurance coverage and debarment proceedings. We have built a solid reputation in construction law, having successfully represented our clients in mediation, arbitration and litigation.

Our team consists of two engineers who practiced in both the private and public sectors and a former vice president of a major construction company who have over 35 years of combined experience in the construction industry. This first-hand knowledge allows us to effectively represent our clients because we have the unique and distinct advantage of not only knowing the law, but also the standards and customs of the construction industry.

We have been successful in resolving our clients’ claims and disputes through negotiation and mediation. However, if we are unable to fairly and equitably resolve a dispute in these forums, we have a proven track record of aggressively and successfully prosecuting and defending numerous claims in the state and federal courts, at both the trial and appellate levels, and before arbitration panels.

Halloran & Sage is fully committed to enhancing ethnic and cultural diversity within our firm. Diversity encourages enriched thinking, varied perspectives and insightful solutions, all of which are critical components in providing superior service to our clients. Through our recruitment, retention and development, our goal is to build a firm that reflects the diverse community in which we live and work.

In order to achieve meaningful and lasting progress toward this goal, we have pledged the firm's full philosophical and financial support. To carry out this pledge, we have created a senior-level Diversity Committee, which is charged with the oversight of all diversity initiatives throughout our firm. Key facets of our diversity initiatives are:

• Recruitment. We actively recruit summer associates, first-year associates and lateral attorneys from a variety of ethnic    and cultural backgrounds. We participate in several collaborative relationships and initiatives that further this goal.
• Retention. We strive to create and maintain an environment that promotes ethnic and cultural diversity over the long term.
• Development and advancement. Our attorneys are active in numerous organizations that support the professional    development and advancement of attorneys from diverse backgrounds.
• Community. As one of Connecticut's largest law firms, we are committed to making a difference in our community. We    dedicate time, talent and financial resources to a range of programs and events that foster and celebrate our community's diversity.
