Surety and Construction Law Attorneys
Serving clients in Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada — Salt Lake City, Utah — California
Surety agreements are complex. They typically account for a number of possible contingencies, but even the most carefully drafted documents can fail to foresee all the possible developments during a construction project and to clearly delineate legal responsibility to all involved parties. Surety disputes can involve significant amounts of money.
There are a number of different scenarios in which a surety bond dispute can arise. Sureties bond many public work, subdivision, and private development projects involving multiple statutory and contractual issues, as well as licensing for contractors. Significant legal and factual issues arise when the bonded contractor fails to perform, or fails to pay its subcontractors or suppliers. Immediate and knowledgeable attention in dealing with such issues is absolutely critical. There may be critical issues regarding work progression, scope of work, critical path, change orders, contract funds, surety bond terms and issuance issues, to name a few. Takeover, completion, tender or ratification agreements must all be considered, analyzed and prepared.
Sureties also bond other businesses such as automobile dealerships, consumer credit counseling companies, probate, notaries and the like to ensure that these entities properly perform their statutory and contractual duties.
Indemnity Agreements are obtained by the surety in exchange for issuing a bond. The surety is entitled to pursue indemnitors to protect the surety from loss or recover any loss experienced.
