Construction defect and infrastructure failure matters arise when failures in design, construction, materials, or maintenance result in property damage, structural compromise, or catastrophic events. These disputes engage multiple parties across the construction chain — owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, design professionals, and testing laboratories — each with distinct contractual relationships, insurance arrangements, and liability exposures. Establishing causation requires coordination with engineering experts, materials scientists, and forensic investigators.

The complexity of these matters is compounded by the multi-party nature of construction programs and the overlapping regulatory frameworks — including building codes, OSHA requirements, and federal investigatory oversight by agencies such as the NTSB — that govern construction safety and infrastructure integrity. Infrastructure failure cases in particular involve high public visibility and may generate wrongful death claims, personal injury actions, and property damage suits alongside regulatory proceedings, all of which must be managed within a coordinated defense strategy.

• Defense and prosecution of claims arising from structural failures, material deficiencies, and construction defects
• Multi-party litigation involving manufacturers, contractors, subcontractors, and design professionals
• Catastrophic infrastructure failure litigation with parallel regulatory investigations
• Products liability claims involving construction materials, components, and building systems
• Disputes over compliance with building codes, engineering standards, and construction specifications
