CONSTRUCTION LAW

At Shirazi Law Firm, we understand the legal challenges faced by contractors, subcontractors, homeowners, and construction companies across Ontario. From contract negotiations and invoicing to payment disputes and project completion, legal issues can affect your cash flow, disrupt your work, and put business relationships under strain.

Unpaid invoices, project delays, deficiencies, disputed extras, and holdback disagreements can quickly turn a construction project into a costly dispute. We help clients understand their options, protect their interests, and pursue practical solutions tailored to their circumstances.

How We Can Help

We assist with drafting, reviewing, and interpreting construction contracts and subcontracts, including payment terms, scope of work, change orders, termination provisions, and dispute resolution clauses. Clear agreements can help prevent misunderstandings and provide a stronger foundation when disagreements arise.

Protect Your Project and Your Business

Our approach begins with understanding your project, reviewing the relevant documents, and identifying the issues that matter most. We provide clear advice so you can make informed decisions about your next steps.

Whether you are seeking payment, responding to a claim, or addressing a developing contract dispute, Shirazi Law Firm can help you move forward.

Unpaid Invoices & Payment Disputes

We represent clients in disputes involving outstanding invoices, progress payments, disputed deductions, back charges, and additional work. We assess the relevant contracts and project records to help clients pursue amounts owed or respond to contested payment demands.

Construction Liens & Holdback Disputes

We assist with construction lien matters and disputes over the withholding or release of holdback funds. Because construction claims can involve strict deadlines, obtaining legal advice early can be essential to protecting your position.
