Burns & Levinson attorneys in our Design & Construction Practice provide practical legal advice to public and private clients engaged on a variety of building and infrastructure projects. As a complement to the firm's Real Estate and Litigation Practice Groups, the Design & Construction Practice focuses on representation of public, private, and institutional owners and developers requiring a broad range of legal services necessary to deliver successful facility development programs. For many years, Burns & Levinson attorneys have also represented designer professionals, contractors, subcontractors, and sureties in connection with a wide spectrum of design and construction industry matters.

Burns & Levinson attorneys understand that, in today’s complex regulatory and political climate, successful project delivery often requires a multi-disciplinary legal approach involving attorneys, as well as other professionals, with skills and experience in the areas of land use planning and environmental permitting, finance, project design, innovative contracting, and insurance.
