Construction Defect Litigation
At Dowling, Aaron & Keeler, the Construction Defect Litigation & Design Professional Liability Defense Group understands the intricacies surrounding all aspects of building developments, whether the project is a small or major project. DAK handles all forms of construction disputes involving owners, general contractors and sub-contractors. It also represents clients in trials and appeals in state and federal courts and those before administrative tribunals. The experienced group works to ensure legal decisions also reflect the best business decision for each client.
Recognizing that delay, uncertainty and expenses are a part of the litigation process, the group will carefully assess the client’s dispute at the outset to determine if it can be resolved more effectively and efficiently through litigation alternatives such as mediation or arbitration—both common practices in the construction industry. This avenue often achieves better results, saves substantial resources and provides a more timely resolution of construction disputes.
The group is well-versed in the defense of architects, engineers, land surveyors, real estate professionals, attorneys and accountants and appreciates the importance of protecting professional interests while simultaneously upholding client relationships. DAK maintains relationships with numerous professional liability insurance carriers and understands the important issues that defense of licensed professionals entails.
The group includes dually-licensed professionals as well as authors of professional liability publications.
