Founded in 1933, Dilworth Paxson conducts a broad and diverse regional law practice representing non-profit corporations, Fortune 500 companies’, privately owned businesses, government entities and individuals. Dilworth Paxson is proud to have many GBCA members as clients.

In its Construction Practice, Dilworth Paxson’s attorneys advise contractors, subcontractors and “a & e” firms on all types of legal issues involving the construction industry, including contract drafting, procurement procedures and bid disputes, contract negotiations, project closeout, dispute resolution proceedings (including mediation, arbitration and litigation) labor disputes, employment policies and disputes, governance and succession planning, and pension liability. Our lawyers also represent owners, developers, contractors, lenders and design professionals engaged in public and private, commercial, institutional, and residential projects. Our representations include a broad range of construction areas, including school and municipal construction, large-scale infrastructure/public works projects, transportation projects, commercial and industrial construction, housing developments and mixed use condominium projects. Dilworth’s network is strong and extensive.

On the transactional side, we seek to limit a client’s exposure to the risks inherent in construction projects. Dilworth Paxson’s construction lawyers have a variety of transactional construction experience which can be applied when negotiating contracts.

The Firm proudly embraces its membership in GBCA and its distinguished and rich history as the “go to” firm in the region, and continues to rely on the values of providing clients with quality, responsive legal service at a fair price accompanied by a tradition of civic and public service set many decades ago by its named partner, the late Richardson Dilworth.
