We have guided clients through hundreds of millions of dollars in institutional projects across the United States, helping shape the built environment for schools, universities, libraries, research centers, hospitals, airports, houses of worship, and other public-serving institutions.
Our work spans hundreds of thousands of square feet and includes projects designed for intense public use, secure environments, specialized technology, and unique cultural or spiritual considerations.
Our clients – architects, engineers, contractors, owner’s representatives, and consultants – operate in some of the most demanding project environments. We have helped them anticipate and navigate the legal, regulatory, and contractual complexities inherent in institutional work. Whether that means addressing statutory procurement restrictions, coordinating with municipalities or religious bodies, or negotiating with airport authorities or for healthcare projects or, we bring a clear-eyed, informed approach to managing risk and helping projects move forward efficiently.
We support clients from concept to completion. Our services range from negotiating design and construction contracts – including AIA Document B101-2017, Agreement Between Owner and Architect, and AIA Document A133-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Constructor – to advising on financing issues, insurance coordination, and change management. We have structured complex multi-phase agreements, resolved fee disputes, advised on faith-based arbitration, and defended against high-stakes litigation stemming from institutional construction projects.
What unites our institutional work is not the project type – it’s the people and the purpose. These projects serve real communities and demand real accountability. We understand the business case behind every institutional initiative, and we work to make sure our clients and their stakeholders are protected, positioned, and empowered to deliver success.
