At the core of this firm is our commitment to the construction industry.  Contractors and their associations were among the firm’s original clients.  The firm represents owners, developers, contractors, and public entities in all phases of the construction process.

From its early days, AALRR has been a leader in the dynamic practice of construction labor law.  The firm handles labor law issues for more contractors in Southern California than any other firm.  From strikes and picket lines to wage and hour lawsuits and NLRB proceedings, the firm has been at the forefront of representing contractors in dealing with their employees and unions.

Our lawyers are well-respected for their experience in contractor labor law, prevailing wage, public works, and wage and hour.  Our attorneys frequently speak at association and industry conferences on these topics and are attuned to the unique needs of contractors.  Many of our attorneys have other professional degrees related to construction and pride themselves on their knowledge of construction and their ability to craft practical, real world solutions.  For example, one of our partners is a licensed architect.  This insider’s knowledge allows the firm to work hand-in-hand with clients to provide precise litigation strategies and proactive advice.

The construction group also handles all matters relating to land use and construction.  Land use attorneys assist clients with issues such as CEQA, eminent domain, leases, sales and exchanges, and environmental regulations.  The firm’s construction attorneys provide counseling and litigation services in areas such as bidding, contract formation, claims, and collections.

As a full-service firm, corporate attorneys offer advice to contractors, developers and owners on buying and selling construction companies, employee retention, and management succession.  Litigation attorneys are also available to handle breach of contract, insurance coverage, and trade secret violations for construction clients.

With AALRR’s long history in representing California management, the firm has been able to establish strong partnerships with numerous industry associations.  Firm attorneys regularly serve on the legislative and/or employee relations committees of organizations such as:  Associated Builders & Contractors, The Associated General Contractors of America, California Chamber of Commerce, Engineering Contractors Association, and Southern California Contractors Association.
