Construction Law
World-class Construction Law and Projects Experience
Construction is awesome (if done right). With the awesomeness of construction comes some of the hugest risks and most complex disputes in the world. At D’Loje Law, we have seen it “all”. Our construction law team based in Calgary, Alberta comes with an uncommon blend of business and legal experience in planning and executing industrial projects across Canada and internationally. We have got our fingerprints on essentially every recent groundbreaking mega (multibillion dollars) industrial project across Canada. Calgary is our base, but the world is our construction site! We are construction law! That is why we took our time (decades) to become painstakingly exceptional even in the business side of projects and construction, both across Canada and around the world. Our lead construction lawyer has mastery of the law in the complex world of projects, and is not reluctant to get his hands dirty – he is a certified project management professional (PMP) and he can use specialized project management tools and software, such as Microsoft Projects, Primavera P6, InEight, SAP, JDE, and Microsoft D365, to name a few.
Our decades of stewarding to construction law and industrial projects (on the owner side as well as on the EPC contractor side), cuts across a wide range of sectors, including: liquified natural gas (LNG), conventional oil and gas, oilsands, petroleum upgrading, mining, oil and gas midstream, public transportation, healthcare, petroleum pipelines, public roadways & bridges, and power generation.
Our experience in construction law and projects, is top-notch and vast. What an advantage for our clients! Let the combination of our deep commitment to the success of our clients, and our extensive experience in construction law (and project execution), work for you!

We are excited about what we can do for you. However, it is how we partner with you that means the most to us - our deep commitment to your success, and our ability to adapt to your own processes, systems and environment. We only win when you win! Our representation is practical and efficient. With D’Loje Law, you are in great hands. We cannot wait to support your team - from the executives and project sponsors, to our very favourite folks (the Project Directors, Project Managers, Project Engineers, EHS experts, Construction Managers & Superintendent, Project Schedulers, Project Cost Controllers, Project Buyers, QA / QC experts, and the great stakeholders who make it all come together).
At D’Loje Law, we are results-driven. We know the complex matters that erupt in the world of projects (and the significant issues at stake), that is why we are practical, and we go straight to the point, always in search of results that further your best interests. We fit really well - when you see us at your project site (with steel toe boots, hard hats, and other relevant personal protective equipment), you will not be able to guess we are lawyers. At your site, we do not talk law (unless if we have to). We talk success; we talk effective project management (your safety, regulatory compliance, quality, reputation, operability, cost and schedule). We serve essentially every environment where construction happens!
Always in your best interests!
