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.
From our New York office, Becker serves clients throughout all five boroughs, Long Island, the Hudson Valley, and Upstate New York, offering both deep regional insight and the strength of a nationally recognized platform. Our local team — led by James J. Mahon and Vincenzo M. Mogavero — represents developers, owners, contractors, and design professionals navigating New York’s uniquely complex construction landscape.
Whether advising on luxury high-rise residential and mixed-use projects in Manhattan, large-scale infrastructure and public works across the city, or commercial, institutional, and municipal developments throughout New York State, Becker attorneys deliver strategic, results-driven counsel.
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.
