About This Blog

Construction directly impacts where we live, where we work and go to school, where we shop, eat and entertain ourselves, and how we get from one place to another. In short, for most of us, the built environment “is” our world. At Nomos LLP, we understand the importance of construction – as well as the need to smile every once in awhile – and publish this blog to keep our friends and clients informed of new developments in construction law.
