Nationally Recognized Leaders in Construction Law
Becker’s award-winning Construction Law practice group is one of the largest and most respected in the United States, with a dedicated team of Board Certified Construction attorneys. Led by Steven B. Lesser, Past Chair of the American Bar Association’s Forum on Construction Law, our team has decades of experience guiding clients through every stage of the construction process — from contract negotiation and risk management to dispute resolution and litigation.
Our Fort Lauderdale office is home to the origins of Becker’s construction practice and remains a hub for projects across Broward County and South Florida. The local team — led by Steven B. Lesser and Lee A. Weintraub — provides tailored solutions for developers, owners, contractors, and design professionals, with deep insight into the region’s evolving construction landscape.
From beachfront condominium towers along Fort Lauderdale’s coast, to large-scale mixed-use and commercial projects, to residential master-planned communities inland, our attorneys deliver proactive counsel that helps clients avoid disputes — and litigate effectively when needed.
We represent clients in transactions and disputes across all project types, including matters involving construction defects, complex delay claims, insurance recovery, and contract negotiation. Becker has been consistently recognized as one of the “Top 50 Construction Law Firms” by Construction Executive Magazine since 2021, and Chambers USA has ranked our practice in Band 1 — the highest honor awarded by clients and peers.
From Fort Lauderdale to projects across Florida and beyond, Becker delivers the trusted legal counsel the construction industry relies on to build with confidence.
