CONSTRUCTION

Our construction lawyers are prepared to handle any aspect of litigation, from initial contract and bid proposals, to material failures and construction defects. 

SUBROGATION

One of our great strengths is large loss subrogation and recovery.  We have access to prime experts in many fields, and we, ourselves, put tremendous time and effort into understanding the scientific and engineering side of every case.

FIRST-PARTY COVERAGE

 As the law and the insurance industry have evolved, we’ve stayed at the forefront, generating new strategies to protect our clients’ interests, and adding new talent to execute those strategies. 

APPELLATE

As we litigate a case in the trial court, we are always mindful of the outlook on appeal. We can handle all matters in the higher courts, state and federal, including the United States Supreme Court.

CASUALTY DEFENSE

Liability exposure is as broad as human endeavor.  Our casualty defense practice encompasses that vast field.  We'll promptly evaluate the case and plan the best course, be it settlement, mediation, arbitration or trial.  Then we’ll execute.

EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL

We have the experience and resources to defend high exposure, “bet-the-company” suits.  These include actions for first and third party “bad-faith,” and all manner of damages in excess of insurance policy limits.  In such matters, we believe ourselves to be preeminent.

INSURANCE COVERAGE

Opinion letters to insurers,  and declaratory actions, all require close analysis of complex issues such as choice of law. The effect of self-insured retention on duties of insurer and insured, public policy considerations, and so on.
