Daryl Bailey has extensive experience in resolving complex commercial disputes with incredibly challenging issues, multiple parties and substantial dollars at stake. His clients range from Fortune 500 companies to mid-size business owners, entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses primarily in the real estate, construction and steel industries, including developers, general contractors, subcontractors, landlords, tenants, steel mills, steel distributors, title insurance companies and their insureds.
Clients rely on Daryl to find the best path for achieving their goals in litigation all over the country involving numerous issues, everything from breach of contract, landlord-tenant disputes, design and construction defects and liens to fraud, DTPA claims, eminent domain, condemnation and valuation, accounting and financial disputes.
Daryl’s practice also extends well beyond the real estate and construction sectors, which gives him the flexibility to help a diverse group of clients solve demanding problems regardless of the industry or subject matter.
