Construction Claims

Claims are an inevitable risk in the construction industry and Allensworth & Porter’s lawyers have years of experience successfully handling claims on their clients’ behalf. We have many long-term clients with whom we work on best practices and processes to avoid claims, which is always our primary goal. Should that not be possible, we assist in claims preparation and defense.

We represent architects, engineers, landscape architects, surveyors, and other design professionals in mediation, arbitration and litigation, for claims arising out of the rendering of professional services for the design, development, and construction administration of various construction projects.
