Developers (including municipalities)

We have represented you the developer many times over the last 30 years, and we are not conflicted about our shared goal to avoid litigation. We are not litigators and if ADR fails it means we fail. We want to help you save time and money and, ideally, finish the project with your team intact. We understand how designers and builders think.

Designers & Builders

Design and build was our core business until April 2014. McPhail was Chair of the sub-committee that developed a Guideline designed to avoid litigation through improved communication. Your number one asset always has been and always will be your reputation. We understand and live that reality with you.

We are not conflicted about our shared goal to avoid litigation. We are not litigators and if ADR fails it means we fail.
