Construction Law

Illinois Construction Law

At Cheely, O’Flaherty & Ayres, located in Chicago, Illinois, our qualified litigation lawyers have represented numerous companies embroiled in construction law disputes.

CONSTRUCTION PRACTICE

At Cheely, O’Flaherty & Ayres, we provide a complete range of legal services to individuals, public entities, companies and professionals engaged in the design and construction industry. Our skilled Illinois construction law attorneys represent project owners, general contractors, construction managers, subcontractors, material suppliers, design professionals and insurance companies. Our involvement has included most aspects of construction law and litigation, including:

• Payment disputes • Mechanics liens • Changes and extras
• Defects • Delay and disruption claims • Termination of contracts
• Unforeseen site conditions • Contract negotiation • Bidding disputes
• Architect/engineer malpractice • Sick building and mold claims
• Construction job site personal injury claims • Insurance coverage

MOLD

At Cheely, O’Flaherty & Ayres  our attorneys have worked in the rapidly growing area of mold related litigation. Virtually every building contains some sort of mold, especially where there are leakage or water infiltration problems. While some individuals develop health problems relating to certain mold spores like black mold, there are currently no government standards dictating how much mold is too much. We represent building owners, developers, landlords, tenants, contractors and other individuals and entities in dealing with legal issues arising from these mold related issues as well as their unique insurance coverage implications.

SICK BUILDINGS and INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Our experience in construction and toxic tort litigation are brought to bear in the defense of indoor air quality claims.  Notably, Cheely, O’Flaherty & Ayres, in Chicago, Illinois helped successfully lead the defense of the general contractor involved in the well-publicized DuPage County Courthouse "sick building" litigation.
