Focusing Our Skills to Counsel and Advise
Foley attorneys combine sound understanding and practical experience in the law with familiarity with the customs, practices, and traditions of the construction industry to counsel clients engaged in all industry sectors. We provide assistance in the origination, documentation, and finance of all types of transactions; projects, joint ventures, and developments; and resourceful, cost-effective representation in dispute prevention and avoidance, dispute resolution, and litigation.

Our attorneys advise clients' boards of directors and officers on general business matters. We also provide counsel on local, state, and federal tax laws and the intricacies of doing business in various states and countries.

We have the focused skills to handle insurance issues and national, state, and regional regulatory compliance problems, offering additional filing assistance and periodic review. We are skilled at assisting with environmental compliance and permitting at all governmental levels.

Our clients rely upon us for advice for public and private debt and securities offerings, employee stock option plans and other securities, corporate finance advice, and investment management counsel.

Perhaps more than any other industry, construction firms rely on skilled labor, and competent and creative management. For that reason, our legal services include assistance with internal employment policies, labor and union negotiations, employment contracts, compensation and benefits, workers' compensation, and responses to employee claims and charges.
