The highly experienced construction attorneys at Burke Blue have represented premier developers throughout Northwest Florida for over four decades. We are partners in building winning developments ranging from shopping centers and amusement parks to condos and subdivisions. 

Developers in Florida have a great potential for profit and success, but also face unique challenges because of the multitude of issues that can arise with any development. Our skilled lawyers understand the unique issues that Florida developers must confront, including strict land use regulations and environmental controls in shore zones and other protected environments, as well as government relations, code compliance and transportation issues. 

Our clients know they can trust our attorneys for competent, experienced and efficient representation and counsel during every and phase of a development project. We cover the entire time span of legal counseling for developers, from acquisition, purchase, planning, construction, to the ultimate sale. Construction law is a cornerstone practice area at Burke Blue, and our team of attorneys can add tremendous value to developers of any size. 

Sometimes the ownership, development, use and sale or purchase of real estate can lead to disputes that can only be resolved through litigation. If developers find themselves in this position, be assured that the attorneys at Burke Blue recognize the significance of advocating for your rights and preserving your interests.

The attorneys at Burke Blue believe that the best service we can provide our clients is dispute avoidance. This can be achieved through advanced negotiation and the proper drafting of documents.
