Condominium Associations bear great responsibility when engaging design professionals and contractors for 40/50 Year Certification, Concrete Restoration, ELSS, and Beautification Projects. Typical Association attorneys don't know a swing stage from a chaise lounge, let alone how post tensioned concrete works or modified bitumen roofing is installed. Not only has Board Certified Attorney Andrew V. Cobbe negotiated and navigated in excess of $75M in Association work, Andrew has performed much of this type of work himself as a Florida Certified General Contractor and Certified Roofing Contractor. Andrew brings experience from nearly all roles in the construction process. Let that experience serve your Association for its next Project.

Forming the right business entity isn't a formality — it's the foundation of your license, your liability exposure, and your ability to grow. As a Board Certified Construction Law attorney and licensed Florida General Contractor, I advise contractors on entity selection, operating agreements, and corporate structure with an understanding of how those decisions intersect with CILB licensure requirements, qualifying agent obligations, and field operations. You're not just forming a company — you're building the legal infrastructure your license sits on. Get it right the first time.
Construction is a high-exposure business. Every project you take on carries risk — scope creep, nonpayment, defect claims, subcontractor failures, and owner disputes that can threaten not just the job, but the company. As a Board Certified Construction Law attorney with active contractor licenses, I review and draft the contracts that define where your risk begins and ends before problems arise.
Your workforce is your operation — and it's also one of your most significant legal exposures. Misclassified workers, defective subcontractor agreements, wage disputes, and OSHA recordables don't just cost money; they can trigger license discipline, federal debarment, and personal liability. As a construction attorney who has worked in the field, I understand how contractors actually staff projects — and how to structure those relationships to hold up under scrutiny.
Before a shovel hits the ground, the entitlement process can make or break a project. Zoning classifications, use restrictions, setback variances, and development approvals aren't just bureaucratic hurdles — they define what can be built, where, and on what timeline. As a construction attorney with contractor licensure and hands-on project experience, I bridge the gap between land use law and construction reality, advising clients on the regulatory landscape before they commit capital to a site.
Construction disputes are expensive, disruptive, and rarely simple. By the time a project ends up in litigation or arbitration, the record has usually been built — or destroyed — long before the first pleading is filed. As a Board Certified Construction Law attorney, I represent contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and owners in disputes across the full project lifecycle, with the field experience to understand what actually happened and why it matters legally.
Construction financing is its own discipline. Draw schedules, lien subordination, completion guarantees, and the interplay between loan documents and construction contracts create a web of obligations that generic real estate counsel often misses. As a Board Certified Construction Law attorney with active contractor licenses, I advise lenders, developers, contractors, and investors on the legal structure of construction finance transactions — with an understanding of how money moves on a project and where it breaks down.
Andrew V. Cobbe, P.A. represents owners — both business owners and discerning homeowners — throughout the entire process, from the initial stages of project planning to the final punch list and beyond. This includes reviewing and negotiating contracts to prevent contract disputes before you sign, ensuring design professionals and contractors remain accountable during construction, managing closeout and lien exposure, and pursuing or defending claims through construction litigation if the project encounters issues. With dual licensure as a Florida-certified general and roofing contractor and Board Certification in Construction Law, Andrew comprehends your project from both sides of the table — and is dedicated to working solely for your interests.
We deeply value the opportunity to serve our clients, and if you have any concerns regarding a potential project, current project, or completed project whatever your role, please feel free to schedule an appointment during normal business hours to discuss your case, including any issues related to construction litigation.
