Construction Trust Fund Disputes
SRA represents contractors, owners, and insurers in construction trust fund disputes involving alleged statutory violations and misapplication of funds. These claims often arise alongside broader payment, lien, or performance disputes and can carry heightened financial and reputational consequences.
Trust fund disputes are fact-intensive and statute-driven. Mishandling them can expose parties to significant liability beyond the underlying contract dispute.
High-Risk Statutory Exposure
Trust fund claims may involve allegations of:
- Improper use or diversion of trust funds
- Failure to segregate or account for payments
- Personal liability exposure under statutory schemes
- Interplay between contractual rights and statutory duties
Because these claims frequently escalate quickly, early assessment and strategic positioning are critical.
Our Role
SRA assists clients by:
- Evaluating statutory exposure and available defenses
- Analyzing accounting records, contracts, and payment flows
- Coordinating trust fund issues with related litigation
- Defending or prosecuting trust fund claims in court or arbitration
Our objective is to control risk, protect credibility, and resolve disputes in a manner aligned with broader project and business realities.
