Arizona Surety & Construction Bond Disputes

Construction-focused counsel for payment bonds, performance bonds, license-bond issues, and related claims.
Overview

Bond disputes often sit at the center of construction-payment and performance conflicts.

Cordier Halsey advises Arizona contractors, owners, developers, and other project participants on surety issues arising from construction projects. These matters may involve payment bonds, performance bonds, contractor license bond issues, indemnity questions, and related claims tied to nonpayment, project performance, completion obligations, or disputed contract administration.

We help clients assess the bond documents, the underlying contract record, the project history, and the available options for claim pursuit or defense. In some matters, the best outcome comes through early evaluation and structured resolution efforts. In others, the dispute must be handled in coordination with broader construction litigation, payment-enforcement work, or contract-based claims.

This work aligns closely with our mechanics’ liens and bond claims and construction law and contracts practice. We represent clients in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Maricopa County, and throughout Arizona.
