About
Porter Hedges attorneys represent owners, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, sureties, design professionals, construction managers, and lenders in resolving complex construction issues. At trial or in any form of alternative dispute resolution, our lawyers have extensive experience representing large national and multi-national companies as well as small and mid-sized companies.
