Founded in 1993 by construction attorneys, Buckley & Leaders offers professional legal services to owners, contractors and design professionals in the construction industry.

We provide business-oriented legal solutions to construction industry problems, emphasizing teaming, partnering and dispute avoidance. Our approach is based upon our practical construction industry experience, engineering training and experience and over 30 years of problem- solving experience. Buckley & Leaders offers practical solutions for negotiating better contracts, reducing risk and improving contracting results.

Innovative Alternative Contracting

We provide cost-effective, reality based solutions that allow our clients to achieve their business goals. Buckley & Leaders offers a unique set of skills and approaches, featuring principled negotiations problem solving and win-win strategies that address the long term interests of our clients.

We work with our clients, creating legal counsel and client staff teams to identify best options and strategies. Buckley & Leaders favors aggressive dispute avoidance and early dispute resolution business models. We agree that stereotypical adversarial behaviors and other dispute resolution practices of attorneys can be deal killers and rarely provide clients the highest value in the long run. We provide our clients a creative framework within which they can more successfully operate their business.

We provide legal and business counseling, litigation oversight, training and workshop programs, with a commitment to superior client service, responsiveness and respect for the unique needs of each client. Many construction lawyers provide the broad range of services that we do, but very few match our focus on client service and practical solutions.
