Dispute Resolution & Litigation
Las Vegas, Nevada

In the construction industry, disputes come from many directions: delays and disruptions, changed or differing site conditions, design issues, defective work, unpaid invoices, terminations, and disagreements over what the contract requires. When one reaches your desk, how quickly and how well it is handled can decide whether your project, and sometimes your business, comes out whole.

Our impressive track record representing clients in disputes from a single unpaid invoice to multimillion-dollar claims will work in your favor. We start with a clear evaluation of where you stand, what it will cost to resolve, and which path makes sense for your business. Sometimes that's a well-crafted communication, a well-timed negotiation, a well-executed mediation, or a well-prepared arbitration or trial.

We prepare every case as though it will go to trial, with a plan for every stage. That preparation is often what produces the best settlements, because the other side knows we're ready. When a case can't settle, we represent you aggressively and effectively in mediation, arbitration, court hearings and trial in Nevada state courts and the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada.

Leon Mead has been ranked Band 1 for Nevada construction litigation by Chambers USA every year since 2006. He is a Senior Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, a trial lawyer honorary society. He wrote the treatise on Nevada construction law, and he has participated in hundreds of mediations and arbitrations over his career, as an advocate and as a neutral. That experience from both sides of the table helps us read a dispute early and steer it toward the best result for you and your business.
