Our construction litigation team has extensive experience in going to trial and litigating construction disputes and offers a multidimensional understanding of the challenges construction industry constituents face throughout Austin and across the state. We deliver first-hand knowledge of the many jurisdictions, courts, judges, and opposing counsel involved in such disputes, as well as veteran skills in overcoming difficult acrimony among even the most disparate parties to a dispute.

Trusted Construction Dispute Resolution and Litigation in Austin, Texas

Our firm can go all the way through a trial if that is what is needed to prosecute or defend your rights. In fact, we have navigated clients through numerous construction disputes, trials, arbitrations, mediations, and appeals with great success. That being said, we also recognize that litigation is not always the desired course of action to resolve construction-related conflicts.

Finding smart, effective ways to resolve disputes is of the utmost importance to our firm—and it’s at the core of everything we do. That is why we work diligently to resolve the dispute outside of court when possible through arbitration, mediation, or direct negotiation with less delay and expense than the traditional courtroom process.

A sampling of our construction litigation experience includes the resolution of issues of all sizes and complexity, including disputes such as:

  • Contract disputes
  • Payment disputes
  • Change order disputes

  • Construction defect claims and workmanship disputes

  • Design errors and design disputes
  • Delay, disruption, and acceleration claims
  • Construction scheduling disputes, lost time, and resulting damages
  • Claims related to scope of work and exclusions
  • Contract suspension and termination
  • Mechanic’s liens
  • Bond claims
  • Constitutional lien claims
  • Extra work claims (as compared to change orders)
  • Contract completion, termination, or abandonment
  • Project controls
  • Damage assessment, analysis, and documentation
  • Bid protests, including withdrawal of the bid, responding to claims against a bid bond, and disputes pertaining to bid awards and protests
  • Claims between contractors and public entity owners

Strategic Litigation for Risk and Results

Our litigators know, from many years of frontline, practical experience, that construction matters cannot be solved with a one-size-fits-all approach, and that analyzing and mitigating risk is essential—whether the claim is small or large. We believe that early detection of a problem is critical to delivering the knowledge and foresight needed to help clients mitigate potential threats. If a problem cannot be immediately resolved, we structure legal claims and defenses early on to support our client’s key objectives.

CLIENT OF LESLIE J. BOLLIER

“I found Ms. Bollier through a very important law firm and was highly recommended to her. Due to the nature of my case, I needed a very skilled and professional attorney and Leslie didn’t disappoint. From the first meeting throughout there was clear communication and planning. She is dedicated, compassionate, and she upholds the highest standard when representing her clients. She is exceptional at her job and I greatly recommended her.”

CLIENT OF LESLIE J. BOLLIER

“I am a working father of 3 kids, one of them with special needs. Going into the divorce I knew I needed a strong attorney. Leslie was the perfect fit. She was supportive, tough, and always prepared. My divorce ended up going to trial and Leslie helped me win primary custody of my children over a stay at home mother! Leslie had thought through my ex-spouse’s arguments and defenses and prepared me for those situations. We were always in control in the court room and it is due to Leslie Bollier being completely prepared (and the best divorce attorney!). Anyone needing or looking for excellent representation should hire Leslie.”

CLIENT OF LESLIE J. BOLLIER

“Susannah Stinson and assistant Becky were very prompt and professional in handling my case. They were sensitive to the issues at hand and actually cared about me and my kids.”

CLIENT OF SUSANNAH A. STINSON

“Leslie Bollier is simply the best divorce/child custody/family lawyer out there, in all of Austin, in all of Travis County. She and her team are the most dedicated team of legal professionals I have ever come across. I strongly recommend her to any parent fighting for justice, parenthood, truth, moral values, and principles.”

CLIENT OF LESLIE J. BOLLIER

“I contacted Leslie Bollier when I had questions about revising custody and child support. I made many mistakes with a different lawyer 8 years ago. Leslie made me very comfortable, safe, and sure with the process. It can be a crazy emotional ride but I would do it all over again for the outcome I have today. Leslie and the team were very professional and efficient. I personally needed the confidence to go through the process and Leslie gave me the confidence and I absolutely know that I would be stuck in my old miserable situation if it wasn’t for her. I am thankful and grateful and will refer everyone I know to her.”

CLIENT OF LESLIE J. BOLLIER

CLIENT OF LESLIE J. BOLLIER

He is professional, direct, and tactful; however, he makes a solid, valid point with every response that leaves the opposition with no possible rebuttal. They are diligent, efficient, and follow through with every detail. They have handled numerous cases for me over the years and have never failed to get the highest level of results possible. They truly are THE BEST anywhere!”
