Construction Law

Construction related litigation is a significant part of DB’s caseload. The firm represents owners, design professionals, general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers and sureties in both federal and state courts. DB’s practice areas include construction defect litigation, delay claims and related litigation, insurance coverage and insurance bad faith litigation, mechanics liens, stop notices and bond claims, as well as the interpretation and enforcement of private and government contracts. DB has unparalleled experience in the representation of grading and paving contractors in construction defect litigation and of striping subcontractors in personal injury claims allegedly arising out of defective property conditions. The firm has in-depth experience handling industrial injury, property damage and business loss claims that are related to the construction industry. The firm has also been active in the handling of environmental law, mold litigation and other toxic tort cases.

Some of the DB attorneys focus almost exclusively on construction-related litigation, and our team includes a professional engineer who is licensed in California with over 20 years of experience in design and construction. This gives the firm a unique insight into the particular issues at play in construction defect claims.
