The attorneys in Ulmer’s Construction Industry Group have amassed decades of experience facilitating complex projects, anticipating problems before they occur, resolving disputes as they arise, and helping clients throughout the industry achieve their business goals. We advise a variety of players in both commercial and residential construction, ranging from developers to construction companies. Our clients include nationally-known contractors, national/regional architectural and engineering firms, and one of the ten-largest home builders in the country.

The comprehensive quality of our services, along with the depth of our experience, allows us to assist on projects ranging from sporting arenas to corporate headquarters to public highways to residential homes/developments.
