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 Sarasota office serves developers, owners, contractors, and design professionals throughout Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties, pairing local knowledge of the Gulf Coast market with Becker’s national resources. Led locally by Sanjay Kurian, our attorneys provide trusted counsel across residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects.

From luxury condominiums along Sarasota Bay, to cultural and civic projects in downtown Sarasota, to large-scale residential and commercial communities throughout the region, Becker attorneys deliver solutions that protect client interests and resolve disputes effectively.

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 Sarasota to projects across Florida and beyond, Becker delivers the trusted legal counsel the construction industry relies on to build with confidence.
