Mr. Barnes has been actively involved in resolving construction disputes since the mid-1980’s. He has represented owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers in claims involving differing site conditions, change order disputes, acceleration and delay claims, construction defects, and early termination of contracts.

He has acted as lead counsel in construction trials and arbitration hearings lasting from one-half day to six weeks and has been retained on multiple occasions by the State of Utah to first investigate and report on complex construction disputes and then conduct evaluative mediation of those disputes.

Lately, Mr. Barnes has been defending large-scale construction defect claims involving allegations of water intrusion in multi-unit condominium projects.
