Construction Litigation

The Firm represents owners, designers, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, and other participants in the construction industry in litigation.

Common litigation areas in which the Firm’s attorneys practice include claims for defects in construction, design, and related products, claims for delay, claims for payment, mechanic’s lien disputes, payment and performance bond claims, warranty claims, completion claims, "sick building" syndrome cases, mold litigation, EIFS claims and foundation movement claims. The Firm emphasizes accessibility and responsibility to its clients and is proud of its record of achievement in cost effective and beneficial results.

The Firm frequently represents insurers in evaluating construction defect coverage questions, including claims for additional insured status and other common coverage questions inherent in construction defect claims.

The Firm’s attorneys are on the cutting edge of the newest type of construction defect litigation: Chinese drywall. With the institution of the federal Multi-District Litigation court in Louisiana, the management of these claims will become more streamlined. The Firm is monitoring developments in the MDL, as well as in state courts around the country and on insurance coverage litigation involving Chinese drywall issues.
