Professional liability claims are essentially two cases in one: the liability claim and the causal litigation or transaction. A team with significant dispute and transactional experience is essential to understanding the underlying case. When called upon, we work closely with our clients to define the near-term and overarching objectives of the representation and to implement a comprehensive plan to address the substantive issues of the primary claim, and to understand the underlying intricacies of the causal matter.
We work with clients in an efficient and cost-effective way to minimize risk and maximize success by developing creative contract delivery systems; resolving problems before, during and after the project with unique solutions; and, if needed, expeditiously and cost effectively representing clients in all types of disputes forums including mediation, arbitration, and the courts.
Our construction team takes an interdisciplinary approach and is composed of attorneys across several of our nationally-recognized practice areas including government contracts, labor and employment, real estate, energy, insurance recovery, project tax and finance, bankruptcy and creditor’s rights, environmental, criminal defense, corporate investigations, and regulatory compliance.
Our attorneys have significant experience with large projects, EPC and EPCM projects, and alternate project delivery systems, particularly in power generation, infrastructure, and heavy industrial process facilities, including:
• Power generation projects
• Terminal and ports
• Chemical plants
• Mining facilities
• Steel mills

• Mass transit, bridge and highway projects

In addition to their extensive government contracts experience our attorneys have appeared before the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) and FIDIC Dispute Adjudication Boards. They are experienced in the international enforcement of any arbitral awards pursuant to the United Nation Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 (the New York Convention).
