Construction Law

When builders and developers collide with a real-world legal problem that’s off their blueprints, that’s where the Whitehead Law Firm steps in. We resolve building problems where the schematics don’t sync with reality.

For instance, when homebuilders wanted a fair playing field for the appraisal of speculative houses, we negotiated with tax assessors and legislators and accomplished the passage of a new law to do just that: Level the playing field for construction.

We resolve contract disputes, analyze fraud and navigate regulatory issues so you can keep your eye on the wrecking ball or the I-beam. Stay focused on what makes you great, and enlist us when a legal issue lands your project out of bounds.

Case Study

The Whitehead Law Firm has assisted various business interests and Contractors with compliance issues before the State Licensing Board.  Louisiana welcomes contractors who properly qualify.  Our citizens need the protection of licensed contractors.
