Public Procurement and Contract Compliance
Public sector contracts come with unique legal challenges, including compliance with procurement laws and public bidding requirements. AGC guides municipalities and public agencies through the complex process of public procurement, ensuring that all contracts adhere to state and federal laws, such as the California Public Contract Code. Our attorneys help clients manage contract compliance issues, including prevailing wage requirements, contractor licensing, and performance bonds.
Contract Enforcement and Dispute Resolution
When a contract is breached, swift legal action is often necessary to enforce the terms of the agreement and protect our clients’ interests. AGC’s attorneys are experienced in enforcing contract provisions through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation. Whether the issue involves payment disputes, performance failures, or other breaches, we work diligently to resolve the matter efficiently while minimizing disruption to our clients’ operations.
Construction Contracts
AGC has extensive experience handling construction contracts for public and private sector clients. We assist municipalities, school districts, and developers in drafting and negotiating construction agreements that protect their interests and ensure project success. Our attorneys provide legal support throughout the construction process, from pre-qualification of contractors to managing disputes related to delays, defects, or non-performance.

AGC’s attorneys specialize in providing contract law services to cities, counties, school districts, and other governmental entities, ensuring that their agreements meet all legal and regulatory requirements.
Preventive Legal Strategies for Contract Management
At AGC, we believe that the best way to avoid disputes is through preventive legal strategies. Our attorneys work closely with clients to identify potential risks during the contract drafting and negotiation phase, developing contracts that address these risks and prevent disputes from arising. We also provide ongoing legal advice throughout the life of a contract to help clients manage performance issues, enforce terms, and maintain compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Contract Litigation and Dispute Resolution
Even with the best planning, contract disputes can still occur. When they do, AGC’s litigation team is prepared to defend our clients’ interests in court or through alternative dispute resolution methods such as arbitration and mediation. Our attorneys have successfully litigated complex contract disputes involving public works, real estate, employment, and procurement contracts.
