Mechanics Lien Laws & Litigation

Mechanics lien laws protect the rights of anyone who contributes materials or labor to a construction project and ensures they are paid for their contribution. These laws form a structured procedure for handling payment disputes and provide an alternative to suing the contract holder for unpaid wages; a process that may take considerable time. A mechanics lien may also be referred to as a construction lien, materialman’s lien, supplier’s lien, laborer’s lien, design professional’s lien or artisan’s lien, depending on who files the lien.
