Our Contractor & Construction Contract Law Services — What We Do
At HighStride Legal, we offer a full suite of legal services tailored to the construction industry. Regardless of whether you’re standing on the contracting side or the owner/general‑contractor side of the ledger.
We focus on:
Contract drafting & review — general contracting agreements, subcontracts, design‑build contracts, change orders, builder’s‑risk addenda
Risk‑allocation advice — indemnity, warranties, liquidated damages, insurance obligations
Lien & mechanic’s‐lien services — securing or defending payment rights via lien filings and enforcement
Dispute resolution & litigation — representing contractors, owners, GCs, and subcontractors in arbitration, mediation, or court when contract disputes, delays, defects or nonpayment arise
Regulatory compliance & licensing — municipal license rules, local contractor registration, permit issues and code‑compliance for both contractors and owners managing projects
Claims management — handling delay‑damages, defective work, extra‑scope claims and more, from both the claimant and the defending side
Subcontractor & supplier contract counsel — drafting fair, enforceable agreements that protect your interest whether you’re supplying work/materials or hiring subs
Because we keep our caseloads limited, when you engage us as your Logansport construction attorney or contract attorney you receive direct access to your lead attorney, clear communication and timely execution focused on your goals.
Common Legal Challenges We Solve in the Logansport Region
Whether you’re a contractor struggling for payment or an owner facing a contractor’s mishandled scope of work, these are issues we regularly help resolve:
Nonpayment or payment delays — owners/GCs withholding payment, disputing invoices, or defaulting, and contractors pushing claims for unpaid work
Scope‑creep or change‑order disputes — disagreements over extra work, compensation or responsibility, from both sides
Defective work or construction defects — claims of poor workmanship, faulty materials or code violations, and defending against those claims
Delay claims and liquidated damages — projects running over schedule, unexpected hold‑ups, and contract‑based damages
Lien challenges or lien disputes — enforcing or defending mechanic’s liens under Indiana law
Termination and default issues — when one party (contractor or owner) alleges breach and seeks to end the contract
Regulatory and permitting violations — whether a contractor failed to register/licence properly, or an owner is dealing with the fallout of non‑compliant contractor activity
Insurance coverage and indemnity crises — issues involving policies, subcontractor indemnity obligations or uncovered risks, from either side of the table
Contract ambiguity and interpretation — when vague terms lead to disputes over rights and obligations
Bonding, surety, performance guarantees — claims with sureties, performance bonds or guarantees, whether you’re the obligee or the obligor
Because construction law is both complex and highly local, having an attorney familiar with Logansport’s contractor or owner rules and practices is a real advantage.
FAQs — Hiring a Construction Attorney or Contract Attorney in Logansport and Surrounding Areas
-
Construction law has its own language, statutory framework (e.g., Indiana’s lien statutes), risk profile and contractual norms. A specialist speaks the industry and knows the pitfalls and local practices.
-
While some matters can be handled remotely, working with a local attorney in Logansport means familiarity with local judges, building codes, permitting authorities and municipal contractor‑registration rules.
-
Fees depend on the matter. We offer flat rates for contract drafting or review and hourly or contingent arrangements for disputes. We’ll discuss budgeting and options up front.
-
Bring all contract documents, change orders, invoices, correspondence, plans, insurance policies and any notices received. Having those will help us assess your rights from day one.
-
Absolutely. For example, Logansport requires contractors to register with the Building Department and maintain liability insurance. We can help you comply or address violations whether you’re the contractor or the owner dealing with a contractor’s failure.
-
It varies. A simple lien enforcement or demand letter might resolve in weeks; contract litigation or arbitration may take months or more. We aim for efficient, cost‑conscious outcomes.
-
We can move to formal litigation or arbitration. Your contract should specify dispute‑resolution paths (mediation, arbitration, jurisdiction) and we’ll guide you through them.
