Expert Guidance Through a Complex Construction Dispute

Our mid-sized commercial contracting firm faced a significant payment dispute with a developer that threatened to derail our operations. We were referred to Dražen Bulat at Miller Thomson LLP, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first consultation, Dražen’s deep, practical knowledge of construction law was evident. He didn't just recite legal principles; he explained the nuances of lien rights and contract interpretation in the context of Arizona's specific regulations, making a complex situation understandable. His background, including his recognition in construction law and his foundational education at Osgoode Hall, provided a robust framework for his strategic thinking. Dražen meticulously reviewed our project documentation, identified several contractual protections the other side had overlooked, and crafted a negotiation strategy that was both firm and pragmatic. Within a matter of weeks, and without the need for costly litigation, he secured a favorable settlement that covered our outstanding invoices and preserved our relationship with the developer. Throughout the process, his communication was clear, responsive, and always professional. Dražen’s three years of focused experience in this niche field translate into a level of expertise that feels far more seasoned. He is a tremendous asset to any business navigating the complexities of construction law.
