We have consulted on numerous construction disputes across the country, involving high-rise construction, new developments, tunnel borings, highway expansions and stadium additions. These disputes have ranged from defects, including mold and moisture intrusion, to breach of contract and cost overruns. Our overarching goal in these cases is to help craft jargon-free arguments that jurors can understand, remember and repeat during deliberations.
We recognize that construction cases are very diverse because they involve a wide variety of trades. As such, we tailor our consulting services to the specific trades and issues in each case, and generate ideas for informative visuals that help convey to jurors likely causes of construction problems.
