Tesser
& Cohen's practice centers on its specialization in the multi-faceted
field of construction law. Representing clients in the
construction business is a field of legal practice that has grown
significantly in the past 25 years and requires an understanding of each
phase of the construction practice.
Tesser & Cohen has a broad range of experience in representing public
and private owners, contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, and developers during
the planning and design phase, financing, contract negotiation, dispute
resolution, and litigation.
We represent clients on projects of all sizes and complexities, public
and private, from residential developments to high-rise corporate
buildings, shopping centers, and other commercial, industrial, and
retail projects.
We have practiced extensively in both New York and New Jersey and keep
abreast of evolving case law and changing statutes, including the lien
laws in both states. A thorough understanding of this area of the
law allows us to offer contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who
have provided labor and materials with the security that often eludes
them.
Handling bid protests on public projects, which involves expedited court
proceedings, requires specialized knowledge and experience. At
Tesser & Cohen we have both. Our daily attention to this
constantly evolving field allows us to remain current with recent court
decisions, legislative enactments, and legal trends, all of which
translate into effective advocacy on behalf of our clients.
Construction claims generally present legal issues that we are uniquely
qualified to address. We have the ability to work closely with
experts to assure that they articulate their views in a manner that is
understandable to laymen, including those who serve as jurors.
Tesser & Cohen is experienced in analyzing, defending against, and
prosecuting claims for damages that commonly arise out of construction
projects. These damages include:
