Intelligent Representation

 

Construction and real estate law are our specialty. Our clients are our focus.

Founded in 2003, The Law Offices of Marc H. Supcoff represents individuals and businesses in all aspects of construction law and real estate transactions.    

We represent property owners, project managers, construction contractors, specialty subcontractors, design professionals, and surety/insurance companies, negotiating design and construction contracts, resolving design, construction and mechanics lien claims, and forming new corporate entities.

We also represent buyers and sellers of residential and commercial real estate — from contract of sale through closing — and tenants and landlords in commercial lease transactions including specification of Landlord Work and Tenant Work.

The Firm focuses on providing clients with cost-effective and practical legal counsel.  We listen to each client and develop an individualized action plan focussed on achieving client objectives.   Most of our work is repeat client business and referrals.  We are proud of our long-term client relationships.  Mr. Supcoff has represented for decades a number of construction clients located in the US and Canada.
