The lawyers at Allensworth & Porter have considerable experience defending architects and engineers before professional licensing boards. We routinely defend clients against complaints filed by the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners (TBAE) and the Texas Board of Professional Engineers (TBPE) and disputes heard by the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) and various procurement agencies including the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and Texas Parks and Wildlife. Additionally, we assist our clients with policy advisory opinions and other matters before these professional boards.

We also 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. We work directly with major professional liability insurance carriers, ideally beginning our representation when our client first learns of a possible claim, with the goal of resolving disputes before a lawsuit is ever filed.

Due to the reputation we have established in professional responsibility, we have also successfully defended professionals outside the construction industry, including medical doctors, psychiatrists, and psychologists in professional responsibility and liability issues.
