| Clay
A. Lanham
Real Estate, Construction, Business and Commercial Law, and
Litigation
Clay’s practice is focused in the
areas of real estate, construction, business and commercial law and civil litigation.
Approximately half of Clay’s practice is in the area
of commercial and residential real estate development. Clay
represents developers throughout the entire development process,
including formation of development entities, initial acquisition
of properties, representations before political bodies for
re-zoning and approvals of projects, acquiring permits, financing,
easements and other general real estate matters common to
commercial and residential developments.
Clay’s practice also includes representing
local businesses in the areas of construction, business and commercial law and civil litigation. Clay
serves as counsel to businesses involved in all aspects of
the construction process, including owners and developers,
general contractors, sub-contractors, home builders and material
providers. Clay is active in litigating construction disputes
as well as resolving disputes through other means such as
arbitration and/or mediation. Clay provides his clients with
counseling, negotiation with adverse parties, review of contracts
and other preliminary arrangements in order to minimize legal risks before litigation occurs and to avoid future
disputes. Clay also assists his clients in the lien filing
and account collection process throughout Alabama, Mississippi
and Georgia.
Clay has spoken on matters of interest to the construction
and real estate industries, most recently at a seminar entitled
“Fundamentals of Real Estate Development” in Mobile,
Alabama.
