Tuttle Yick represents owners, developers, contractors, architects, and consultants in all facets of construction law—from project inception to closeout. We bring a practical, deal-savvy approach to risk management, contract negotiation, and dispute resolution, helping clients build with confidence and avoid costly delays or litigation.
The Construction practice is led by Alexander Tuttle, a founding partner with extensive experience advising on complex urban development projects across New York and beyond. Alex is known for his deep understanding of both the legal and operational aspects of construction. He routinely represents clients in drafting and negotiating key project agreements and navigating claims involving performance bonds, design defects, payment disputes, and construction delays.
Our team’s construction capabilities include:
- Drafting and negotiating AIA and custom construction contracts, CM agreements, design-build contracts, and professional services agreements
- Advising on change orders, schedule disputes, liquidated damages, and construction defects
- Representing owners and contractors in payment and performance bond claims
- Counseling on DOB, zoning, permit, and regulatory compliance
- Managing disputes through mediation, arbitration, and litigation when necessary
- Coordinating with architects, engineers, and consultants on risk allocation and project delivery
Alex’s nuanced, results-driven counsel is trusted by clients ranging from first-time developers to institutional real estate players. His work includes major ground-up construction, adaptive reuse, multifamily housing, and complex infrastructure-related projects.
At Tuttle Yick, we don’t just understand the law—we understand how buildings get built. That perspective allows us to craft legal solutions that move projects forward and protect our clients’ investments.
