Harter Secrest & Emery LLP

HSE has built a statewide reputation as a provider of legal services in the construction and building trades. Our lawyers have extensive experience advising and representing various members of the building and construction community on legal issues relating to project development in the planning, transaction, and building stages.

Our multidisciplinary Building and Construction Group cuts across the substantive areas of real estate, financing, environmental, land use and zoning, general corporate issues, and litigation. The Group provides counseling throughout the entire continuum of project management: drafting the initial land acquisition documents, design and planning, bidding and contract negotiations, and the various legal issues that arise during and subsequent to construction. As a corollary to the work we perform relative to construction matters, HSE provides extensive arbitration and litigation services.
