Varela,
Lee, Metz & Guarino, LLP (VLMG) is the new standard of law firm focused on
serving the specialized needs of clients in the construction and engineering
industry. VLMG’s practice is international in scope, with offices in
Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and San Francisco.
VLMG’s
lawyers represent clients on an impressive array of civil, industrial,
commercial, and government projects across the United States and around the
world. The firm’s attorneys offer a particularly in-depth understanding of
heavy civil and infrastructure projects (including highways and bridges,
tunnels, mass transit systems, water/wastewater, airports, ports, and professional
sports stadiums) and the power sector (including fossil-fuel, hydroelectric,
solar, and nuclear plants). Handling matters across this spectrum of project
types has enabled the attorneys at VLMG to develop substantial expertise
regarding federal, state, and local government contracts and procurement.
VLMG
also maintains a significant and expanding international practice, with
experience handling matters across the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, the Middle
East, Africa, and Latin America. VLMG’s clients represent a diverse
cross-section of the major players in the worldwide construction industry, and
include many of the largest contractors in the world.
The
majority of the firm’s practice focuses on risk management, as well as
litigation and dispute resolution before federal and state courts and boards of
contract appeals, domestic and international arbitration, and other alternative
dispute resolution proceedings. The firm’s attorneys also regularly provide
pre-construction advice through the drafting and review of contract documents
and provide counsel to clients during ongoing projects, domestically and abroad.
VLMG’s
attorneys provide the highest quality legal service to our clients with
agility, value, and responsiveness. Clients in the construction industry value
close working relationships with lawyers who understand their business. We
continue to nurture those relationships in a marketplace that has evolved to
place increasing emphasis on a law firm’s sophistication and creativity.
