About this firm

Bachara Construction Law Group opened its doors in 2007, when Chip Bachara, Brian Crevasse and Brent Zimmerman left Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP to establish a new firm focused solely on construction law. With more than 35 years of collective experience in every aspect of construction law, Bachara Construction Law Group is qualified to handle every type of construction dispute, ranging from payment disputes to bid protests, delay claims, claims of defective design or construction and insurance coverage disputes. Bachara Construction Law Group also regularly negotiates and drafts contracts on behalf of its clients.

The firm's commitment to construction law is not just based on experience; it is also rooted in family tradition. Both of Brent's grandfathers worked in construction, and Chip began working for his father's construction company at the age of 14, later earning a Bachelor of Building Construction from UF and a General Contractor's license from the State of Florida. After working for two of Jacksonville's largest commercial contractors and obtaining his law degree, he has practiced continuously in Jacksonville since 1987, focusing exclusively on construction disputes.

A Board Certified Construction Lawyer, Chip carries Martindale-Hubbell's "AV" rating and Preeminent Lawyer status and is listed in the Best Lawyers in America and Florida Trend Magazine's Legal Elite. He's also been recognized as a Florida Super Lawyer by the publisher of Law & Politics since the inception of the designation.
