Construction Litigation at Hermes Law
From construction defect claims and catastrophic losses to contract disputes and job site litigation, Hermes Law represents owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, manufacturers, and insurers in high-exposure construction matters throughout Texas.
Meet the Team Leading Construction Litigation Forward
Construction disputes demand more than legal knowledge. They require attorneys who understand how projects are built, where risk develops, and how to resolve disputes efficiently.
Brandon Wilson and Peter Kerr lead Hermes Law's Construction Litigation practice, bringing decades of combined experience representing clients across every stage of the construction process. Working alongside a multidisciplinary team, they help clients navigate complex litigation while minimizing disruption to ongoing business operations.
Insurance coverage issues impacting construction claims are supported by Kevin Parish and Hermes Law's coverage practice, providing clients with additional strategic insight when coverage questions arise.
