In addition to general tort actions arising out of premises liability and improper supervision, attorneys in this unit are highly experienced in handling complex tort claims involving alleged Federal Civil Rights (42 U.S.C. § 1983) violations and claims based on allegations of physical and sexual assault and abuse brought in the State and Federal Courts. These sensitive claims raise complex liability and insurance issues with which we are well versed. Our experience in defending these cases, while always mindful of the special considerations each party deserves, has thus enabled us to resolve these claims successfully, efficiently, and economically to our clients’ satisfaction.

Given our broad knowledge of the design industry, we are able to provide a vast array of advice to our clients in the design industry and anticipate their needs, often obviating the need for litigation at all.
- Construction ContractsMany construction contracts provide for indemnification with respect to third party liability claims. Courts, however, will grant indemnification only if you can demonstrate an unambiguous intent to be indemnified under the circumstances. We have a proven track record for transferring liability (full and partial) vertically to agents, contractors, and suppliers by virtue of contractual indemnification, as well as defending against questionable indemnification claims. Construction accident claims also present complex insurance issues. We have specialized insurance coverage attorneys to provide advice regarding rights and obligations under commercial liability and professional liability policies.
