Joelle Briand-Diguer

Expert guidance through a complex construction dispute

Our company engaged Joelle Briand-Diguer of Norton Rose Fulbright to navigate a challenging contractual dispute with a major subcontractor on a multi-family development project in Atlanta. From our initial consultation, it was clear that her recognized expertise in Construction Law was well-founded. She demonstrated a nuanced understanding of both the legal intricacies and the practical realities of the construction industry, which was invaluable. Her counsel was not just legally sound but strategically focused on achieving a commercially viable resolution. We particularly appreciated how she drew upon her extensive experience to anticipate the other party's moves and structure our position accordingly. The matter was resolved favorably without the need for protracted litigation, saving us significant time and resources. While Joelle's strategic insight was top-tier, there were a few instances where communication from her team regarding administrative updates could have been slightly more prompt, though she herself was always responsive to substantive questions. Overall, Joelle provided knowledgeable and effective representation. We would confidently recommend her to any business facing complex construction law matters in the U.S. market.
