MORE ON OUR SURETY LAW PRACTICE GROUP
Sureties bond many public work, subdivision and private development projects. Sureties also bond other businesses such as automobile dealerships, consumer credit counseling companies, probate and notaries. They help ensure that these entities properly perform their statutory and contractual duties.
Significant legal and factual issues arise when the bonded contractor fails to perform. Additionally, surety bond disputes arise when a party fails to pay its subcontractors or suppliers. Immediate and knowledgeable attention in dealing with such issues is absolutely critical.
Surety agreements are formulated to protect the project owner by ensuring that a construction project is completed according to the terms of a contract and that the contractor pays the subcontractors and suppliers appropriately. They typically account for a number of possible contingencies. However, 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. These gaps in the agreement can lead to complex surety bond disputes involving significant amounts of money.
