Practice Areas

The construction industry is inherently risky.  In many cases, margins are thin, and profitability can be eroded through unnecessary cost overruns.  Many contractors do not have full-time, in-house construction lawyers to address key practical issues.  Full-time in-house attorneys can be cost prohibitive, but there will be times when legal advice is required.  As a result, we offer a broad range of legal services through our External General Counsel Services by providing legal services on an as-needed basis.  Our team can serve as your company’s General Counsel.  Our External General Counsel Services offers many benefits and peace of mind knowing that you have trusted lawyers, on call, to address legal issues as they arise.  Our rates for the External General Counsel Services are defined and are incurred only when you need legal services.

Over the years, we have successfully reduced risks, as well as annual legal expenditures for many clients through our External General Counsel Services by offering day-to-day advice with practical and efficient solutions to mitigate risk and avoid protracted disputes.  As your company’s General Counsel, we understand that we are not the corporate decisionmaker.  We offer guidance and recommendations for you to make informed business decisions ensuring corporate success.  Our lawyers have decades of “lessons learned” experience in the industry to assist your company in furthering its goals and maximizing profits.
Henner & Scarbrough’s External General Counsel Services includes extensive training sessions for your teams to identify issues early and solve them quickly. It also provides you with access to legal services, through our wealth of industry knowledge, to better understand what works and what doesn’t for your use and benefit.
