About Arthur Bolick

Arty Bolick is an experienced litigator and construction lawyer who represents clients in all manner of court proceedings and arbitrations. He counsels the Firm’s construction clients throughout all phases of commercial and institutional construction projects, from contracting and claims resolution, to arbitration and litigation if disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation. Arty is a Certified Mediator through the North Carolina Dispute Resolution Commission.

Arty represents owners, contractors and subcontractors in disputes during all phases of a construction project, including negotiating change orders and other claims that may arise during a project, as well as post completion litigation and arbitration. Arty looks to provide value to clients by saving litigation costs and expense where claims can be resolved through careful negotiation. Of course, not all disputes can be resolved without legal action. When litigation is the best strategy, Arty has more than two decades of experience litigating disputes in the courtroom and through arbitration. Arty has appeared on behalf of clients in both state and federal courts, and before numerous experienced mediators and arbitrators.

He also represents and advises owners, lenders, developers, design professionals, construction managers, general contractors and subcontractors in drafting and negotiating contracts for all types of commercial and institutional projects. Arty understands that contract negotiation is principally about risk allocation. He works hard for clients to ensure they do not take on unnecessary risks, and to make sure they are properly compensated for the risks they do agree to absorb. Arty is equally comfortable helping a small contractor perfect its agreements as representing owners, developers and lenders in multi-million dollar construction projects. Over the last decade, Arty has negotiated contracts for all sizes of projects, from small commercial buildings, to apartment complexes, to larger office buildings and public high schools where eight figure budgets are common.
