Overview

Comprehensive Counsel for the Construction Industry.

Germer’s construction law practice is defined by a deep, practical understanding of the building process. Many of our attorneys worked within the construction industry before entering the legal profession, providing them with a rare perspective on the design, development, and technical challenges our clients face. This hands-on background allows us to offer more than just legal advice; we provide strategic counsel that accounts for the realities of the job site and the complexities of project management.

Our attorneys represent a full spectrum of industry stakeholders—including owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors, and design professionals—from initial contract negotiations through post-completion disputes. We are frequently called upon to manage high-stakes matters such as lien claims, construction defect allegations, and regulatory investigations. Whether we are drafting complex indemnity provisions or navigating multi-party arbitration, our goal is to resolve project-critical issues efficiently and effectively.

As a full-service firm, Germer provides a seamless transition between construction-specific counsel and related legal needs. Projects often involve overlapping challenges in labor and employment, premises liability, and corporate governance. By leveraging the firm’s statewide infrastructure, we ensure our clients have access to comprehensive legal support at every stage of the project lifecycle, protecting both their assets and their reputations across the state of Texas.
