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 →
