Cotney – Attorneys & Consultants is a powerhouse legal firm dedicated exclusively to the construction industry. Founded by Trent Cotney, a board-certified construction lawyer, the firm has earned a national reputation for understanding the grit and mechanics of the construction world better than anyone else.

Whether you are a roofer, a general contractor, or a material supplier, we provide the aggressive representation and practical advice you need to protect your bottom line.
Comprehensive Construction Services
We handle every legal hurdle a construction business might face, from the bid phase to project closeout. Our core practice areas include:
- OSHA Defense: We are industry leaders in defending contractors against OSHA citations, helping to minimize fines and protect your safety record.
- Lien and Bond Law: We aggressively pursue payment through mechanics liens and payment bond claims, ensuring you get paid for your work.
- Contract Review and Drafting: We review and draft construction contracts to shield you from unfair risk and liability.
- Construction Litigation: We represent clients in disputes over defects, delays, and scope of work in state and federal courts.
- Bid Protests: We help contractors challenge unfair government contract awards.

At Cotney, we believe in proactive legal protection. We offer subscription-based general counsel services, giving you access to an attorney whenever you need it without the fear of hourly billing. Our Nashville office brings this high-level advocacy to the booming Tennessee construction market.
