Steven Nudelman

I learned long ago that there’s no such thing as a ‘simple’ construction case. Even the most basic case gets bogged down by project records and design drawings. I try to help clients understand this right from the onset, so that they may appreciate the litigation process and the timeframe for a construction lawsuit.

Mr. Nudelman concentrates his practice in construction law and the representation of members of the construction industry across a broad spectrum of matters.  His clients include owners, contractors, design professionals, subcontractors and suppliers involved in public and private construction projects throughout New Jersey.  He also represents community associations, unit owners and developers in lawsuits involving construction defects, budgeting and financing issues, and condominium governance.

Mr. Nudelman provides counsel on a variety of business disputes, including claims for breach of contract, negligence and professional malpractice, surety bond claims and Consumer Fraud Act violations. He works with clients in preparing claims for construction liens, condominium liens and municipal mechanic's liens, ultimately leading to the commencement of the appropriate foreclosure action if necessary.

Mr. Nudelman has represented clients who receive code violations lodged by enforcement officials under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code Act. He defends clients in these proceedings in Municipal Court, the Construction Board of Appeals and/or the Office of Administrative Law.  He has also appeared on behalf of clients in state, federal and appellate courts and in local and international construction and commercial mediations and arbitrations.  

Mr. Nudelman has experience in real estate litigation, with a particular focus on title defense.  He has represented owners and lenders in title insurance claims and has prosecuted and defended quiet title actions and cases involving trespass, easements, boundary disputes, adverse possession, equitable subrogation and title defects.  

In addition to litigation and dispute resolution, Mr. Nudelman assists construction clients with contract negotiations, review and drafting, with an emphasis on efficiency and practical results.
