Knowing real estate, literally from the ground up, gives Berding & Weil a solid base for our construction defect and construction law practice. We help resolve disputes among owners, contractors, architects, and engineers before, during and after construction.

While we are adept at negotiating disputes to satisfactory conclusions, we also are well prepared to represent clients before administrative agencies, arbitration panels and to litigate in Federal and State courts. The firm brings decades of experience in resolving real estate and construction disputes, whether in negotiation, formal litigation, or alternate dispute resolution. The firm's reputation is founded upon skill, experience, and a results-oriented approach.

Our litigators and analyst/investigators efficiently prepare cases for resolution. Together these teams are equipped to practice in all facets of complex construction litigation, contract disputes, delay claims, building products liability and negligence claims, as well as insurance coverage issues. The firm's litigation teams coordinate all phases of a claim from determining the best venue, selecting experts, investigating facts, to trial preparation and trial. We are proud to be among the few firms in California to have actually tried complex construction defect cases to verdict.

While our clients tend to be owners and investors of large commercial and residential projects, the firm's thorough working knowledge of construction standards and codes also benefit developers and builders who wish to actively avoid disputes over the quality of construction.
