Construction Law

Darling, Bergstrom & Milligan represents owners, contractors, subcontractors and lenders on a wide range of construction issues. Our attorneys also negotiate and draft various types of construction, subcontracting and professional service contracts.

Darling, Bergstrom & Milligan’s attorneys are well versed in Colorado mechanic’s lien law. We help our contractor clients preserve their statutory rights with respect to the execution, recording and service of preliminary notices, mechanic’s liens and the perfection of claims. In the case of owners and lenders, we advise them on lien protection strategies and disbursement obligations.

We believe that the key to construction claim avoidance is good project management. While the attorneys of Darling, Bergstrom & Milligan provide advice on avoiding claims, unfortunately, not all disputes can easily be resolved. Contractors, subcontractors, owners, lenders and sureties are often brought into the same forum; cross claims are usually plentiful and insurance coverage is often triggered. Because of this, it takes a law firm that completely understands all of the various parties, their obligations and their rights, to sort through the claims, maximize efficiency, limit expense and utilize alternative dispute methods, where appropriate, to help our clients reach a resolution.
