Surety Law

Surety law is a complex area of construction law that we frequently navigate. Our firm can represent all parties in a surety bond matter: the surety, the principal, and the obligee, whether through a tender or as a beneficiary.

Welby, Brady & Greenblatt, LLP advises contractors, subcontractors, sureties, claimants, indemnitors, and other construction participants concerning payment and performance bonds, bond claims, contractor defaults, completion and takeover issues, indemnity obligations, lien-discharge bonds, and related litigation and arbitration.

What We Do

Our Surety Law Services

Review and Filing of Lien Discharge Bonds

When a mechanic’s lien is filed against a property, a lien discharge bond allows construction to continue while the underlying claim is resolved. Our attorneys review, prepare, and file lien discharge bonds to keep your project moving and protect all parties’ interests throughout the process.

Locating Payment & Performance Bonds

Before pursuing a bond claim, you need to confirm that a bond exists and identify the surety. WB&G assists clients in locating payment and performance bonds on both private and public construction projects, ensuring that all available avenues for recovery are identified early.

Preparation of Notice of Bond Claim

Strict notice requirements govern surety bond claims, and missing a deadline can forfeit your right to recovery. Our attorneys prepare and serve timely, legally compliant notices of bond claim on your behalf, protecting your rights and preserving your ability to recover what you are owed.

Preparation & Review of Proof of Claim

A well-prepared proof of claim is critical to a successful surety bond recovery. WB&G prepares and reviews proofs of claim that clearly document the nature and amount of the loss, supporting the strongest possible outcome for sureties, principals, and obligees alike.

Construction Expertise Behind Every Bond Claim

WB&G’s deep construction law background gives our surety clients a distinct advantage. We know how projects are built, how disputes arise, and how to navigate the bond claim process efficiently and effectively.
