The Authority on Texas Construction Law

Robert M. Lovein and Elana M. Ribman co-authored Texas Construction Law and Practice, a leading legal treatise published by LexisNexis and Matthew Bender.

The publication provides a detailed, practice-oriented analysis of the legal framework governing residential, commercial, and public construction projects across Texas, and is widely relied upon by attorneys, judges, arbitrators, and construction professionals throughout the state. Lovein Ribman is recognized as a statewide authority in construction law—and quite literally wrote the book on the subject. Click Here to Learn More →

Navigate complex commercial construction disputes with confidence. Our experienced team offers strategic guidance for resolving payment disputes, design defects, defective workmanship, and project delays.
Protect your investment. Our attorneys defend homeowners by prosecuting homebuilders and contractors for defective workmanship, project delays, theft of project funds, failure to honor warranties, and project abandonment.
We represent design professionals, owners, contractors, and subcontractors in all types of commercial construction disputes, including payment claims, delays, and defective work.
We draft, review, and modify new home and remodel construction contracts to protect homeowners against defective work, delays, hidden costs, and contractor disputes.
