Overview
Carlton Fields advises developers, manufacturers, and other industry participants on the full range of legal issues arising from the use of innovative construction methods, including modular and offsite construction. We have represented a developer in a $140 million construction loan for what is expected to be the largest modular residential development in North America. We counsel manufacturers of both permanent and temporary modular structures, including with respect to routine operating, labor and employment, and other lifecycle matters. We also represent manufacturers of modular components in securing patent protection for their proprietary technology, and we have represented clients in multi-jurisdictional litigation arising from modular projects. Our attorneys are regular speakers at industry events on the legal and financial issues these projects raise, including at the Modular Building Institute's World of Modular 2026 and on a recent Bisnow panel on modular financing.
