Background

About Eric Travers

Construction and Contract Law Eric advises construction businesses and owners in all aspects of construction law, including resolution of payment disputes, contract drafting and negotiation, risk management strategies, and preserving, perfecting and enforcing/defending mechanic’s liens. He also assists clients in asserting, defending, negotiating and resolving payment and performance bond claims. Eric is experienced in change order issues (delay claims, changes, acceleration, damages, changed conditions, etc.), airport lease and sublease negotiations, and drafting, revising and negotiating appropriate release and settlement language for construction claims, progress payments, and final payments. Litigation / Alternative Dispute Resolution Experienced in state and federal court trial and appellate practice, Eric is also trained in and successfully helped numerous clients resolve disputes through alternative dispute resolution techniques, including mediation and arbitration. Eric specializes in helping clients develop cost-effective strategies to evaluate and manage risk at all stages of the contract, project, and litigation process, with an eye to limit and resolve disputes short of litigation. In those instances when litigation or arbitration cannot be avoided, Eric works with his clients to develop a trial strategy to achieve an outcome consistent with their goals and the law. Eric then takes the case from the initial pleadings to the final judgment and beyond, and presents each case in a manner designed to maximize his client’s opportunities to get and preserve a favorable judgment or award.
