Phelps Named to The Top 50 Construction Law Firms List by Construction Executive
NEW ORLEANS — June 29, 2022 — Construction Executive, a leading B2B magazine for the construction industry, named Phelps to The Top 50 Construction Law Firms™ for 2022.
“We’re glad to see our team of accomplished construction lawyers get the recognition they’ve earned,” said Phelps Managing Partner Marshall Redmon. “Their recent work on the Surfside condo collapse, the third-deadliest such failure, shows the caliber of issues our construction team tackles from Texas to Florida, and beyond.”
The ranking is based on surveys completed by hundreds of U.S. law firms each year. It considers each firm’s construction practice on several factors, including revenue, size and age of the practice, as well as how many architecture, engineering and construction clients the firm serves.
“We’re honored to be recognized alongside some of the country’s leading construction law firms,” said Phelps Partner Kelsey Kornick Funes, Co-Chair of the ABA’s 2022 Forum on Construction Law and one of 18 partners on Phelps’ construction team. “Phelps’ quality coupled with our footprint makes us uniquely qualified to support the industries that build our nation’s economy.”
With 12 offices in six states, Phelps’ Construction and Design practice has grown significantly in recent years—in tandem with the growth of the construction industry across the Gulf Coast. A large portion of the practice's work focuses on keeping large infrastructure projects moving forward, including industrial facilities, highways and power plants. With a national push for added infrastructure, the Firm stands ready to support clients as their needs in this sector evolve.
The Firm’s construction team includes more than 30 experienced lawyers who have successfully steered international and local construction companies through disputes arising during construction and the complex issues that can arise after a project's completion, including bond claims and liens, cost overruns and delays. Clients include a wide range of businesses, such as an international fertilizer manufacturer, the general contractor for the new terminal at the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport and major industrial and commercial subcontractors.
