Architects and Engineers’ Liability
Bates & Carey LLP's lawyers combine their corporate and litigation skills to assist our construction clients in contract negotiation, preparation, interpretation, and litigation when necessary. We have extensive experience in representing owners, developers, contractors, architects and engineers in all aspects of construction litigation. This experience includes matters involving design defects, construction defects, contract interpretation, liquidated damages claims, and insurance coverage disputes. Bates & Carey LLP's lawyers have worked with construction clients to resolve potential and actual disputes through on-site counseling and negotiation, mediation, arbitration and trial.

Similar to our work with lawyers and architects, we have defended accountants in various claims arising out of professional accounting services ranging from reviews, compilations and audits of small office/home office (SOHO) businesses to large privately and publicly owned companies. We have worked with accountants to develop engagement and termination letters, checklists, and reporting forms. Additionally, we have defended accountants in all phases of litigation including trial.
