Matt Waterman has a practice that involves both transactional and litigation matters covering all aspects of construction law.  He represents general contractors, designers, subcontractors, and owners on projects of all varieties including industrial facilities, multi-family projects, retail centers, and public infrastructure.  He has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in both commercial and residential matters involving contract claims, design defects, mechanic’s liens and bonds, insurance coverage disputes, construction defects, real estate disputes, trade secrets, products liability issues, payment disputes, delay and disruption claims, and personal injury.
