Matthew O’Connor Authors Article in Rhode Island Bar Journal: The Rhode Island Mechanics’ Lien Law - Illustrating Potential Pitfalls for Property Owners and Practitioners

In this Rhode Island Bar Journal article that begins on page seven, Pierce Atwood litigation attorney Matt O’Connor provides an overview of the Rhode Island Mechanics’ Lien Law (G.L. 1956 §§ 34-28-1 to -37), discusses some of its history, and then drills down into what lawyers needs to know—at a minimum—to effectively represent their client. Whether the client is a subcontractor who has not been paid on a recent construction project, an owner who has received notice of a lien against its property, or a general contractor being pulled in both directions in payment disputes.

Matt O'Connor is an associate in Pierce Atwood’s Litigation Practice Group, focusing on construction, commercial, and ERISA litigation.
