Construction

Our considerable experience in construction defense has allowed us to develop a thorough understanding of the legal complexities associated with these claims.

Our attorneys act as defense counsel for general contractors and subcontractors in various types of construction litigation involving large commercial buildings, subdivision development, apartment complexes, dormitories, personal residences, and roadway construction. We have also defended public entities involved in mass construction projects.

We realize that casualties related to the construction industry occur frequently and around the clock. We strive to secure both factual and contractual information as promptly and efficiently as possible. We identify all parties and potential parties involved in construction casualties, and we conduct early assessments of potential indemnity and risk transfer issues favorable to our clients. Where appropriate, we pursue risk transfer issues diligently.

Time is often of the essence when dealing with construction casualties. We identify all relevant issues as early as possible, which is crucial to a successful defense of our construction clients. We have created a substantive working relationship with several engineering and other experts necessary to defend these claims.
