The attorneys in this practice group specialize in the representation of a broad spectrum of individuals and businesses at the owner/developer, general contractor, design professionals and subcontractor levels. The cases vary in both size and complexity. Although the majority of these actions involve single-family detached homes, townhomes, and condominiums, we also represent clients in matters involving commercial structures and multi-phase industrial complexes.

Given the significant expense associated with construction litigation , this practice group is particularly committed to exploring expeditious and economical alternatives for extricating our clients from disputes or lawsuits. It is also here where the full benefits of our advanced computer technology and paralegals are employed, in order to conserve expenses in these often multi-party, document-intensive actions.

As a leader in construction litigation matters, we have developed a close relationship with many of the retired judges, mediators, special masters, and experts who are routinely engaged in this type of litigation. Our retention and regular appearances before these individuals has yielded a continuity of superlative results for our clients. Furthermore, our relationship and contacts with a seasoned, experienced, and pragmatic group of experts has consistently served our clients well.

Developers and General Contractors

In representing developers and general contractors, we initially focus on maximizing indemnity rights owed to our clients from subcontractors. At the inception of developer or general contractor cases, we schedule an early meeting of all parties in order to secure copies of insurance policies naming our clients as additional insureds so that timely demands for defense and indemnity can be made and pursued. We then aggressively attack the plaintiff's claims pursuant to a customized litigation strategy or case management order in which we strive not just to meet, but exceed, our client's expectations.

The attorneys in this practice group also represent other construction professionals such as architects and designers in all disciplines. Our approach is to constantly analyze exposure to the client and ensure that appropriate liability is sought against any other parties that may be responsible for the claimed damage.

The construction litigation practice group handles matters throughout the entire state of California.

Our substantial experience in construction litigation has demonstrated that there are numerous factors that distinguish each action, and unique opportunities for successful, disposition-oriented results.
