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 Santa Rosa Beach office anchors Becker’s presence along Florida’s Emerald Coast and Panhandle, serving developers, contractors, owners, and design professionals throughout Walton County and beyond. The local team — led by Patrick C. Howell — combines regional insight with Becker’s nationally award-winning resources.
From residential communities along Scenic Highway 30A, to resort and hospitality developments along the Gulf, to infrastructure and commercial projects throughout Northwest Florida, Becker attorneys deliver trusted legal counsel to protect client interests.
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 Santa Rosa Beach to projects across Florida and beyond, Becker delivers the trusted legal counsel the construction industry relies on to build with confidence.
