Porter Hedges attorneys represent owners, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, sureties, design professionals, construction managers, and lenders in resolving complex construction issues. At trial or in any form of alternative dispute resolution, our lawyers have extensive experience representing large national and multi-national companies as well as small and mid-sized companies.

Construction projects are subject to high risk and tight profit margins, and as a result, getting the best results efficiently is our prime consideration. Through negotiation, litigation, mediation, or arbitration, we pursue legal solutions that meet business objectives. We also write and negotiate the contracts to avoid disputes where possible and streamline those which our clients cannot avoid.  We manage the process to ensure that the family of contracts which apply to a construction project are coordinated.

Porter Hedges is recognized as one of the premier business law firms based in Houston.

With an additional office in Oklahoma City, we focus on core areas including corporate, litigation, energy transactions, finance, bankruptcy, construction, real estate, intellectual property, and employment law. With particular preeminence in the energy sector, Porter Hedges is consistently ranked among the leading law firms across the full spectrum of the industry.

We are committed to excellence across our firm and favor an efficient, value-minded approach to serving our clients. We develop practical and integrated solutions to complex challenges that we approach with a business-oriented mindset.
