In defending architects and engineers, the firm represents clients against claims arising out of anything from single family homes to billion dollar resort hotels. These claims can involve allegations of design defects, improper project management or the miscalculation of engineering or geo-technical tolerances. While the traditional claim against architects and engineers may involve design issues and related claims of property damage, an evolving trend has led to the incorporation of professional negligence allegations that result not only in design defects and property damage, but also in concurrent bodily injury claims arising from purported exposure to mold, fungus and other environmental factors.

As with architects and engineers, those professionals who are involved in the field of environmental testing now face claims of professional negligence that allegedly results in exposure by claimants to various airborne contaminants such as mold spores, asbestos and assorted toxins. Claimants in these matters can be single individuals, whole families or workers in buildings alleged to be contaminated.
