Construction Litigation Defense

Rubin Paterniti Gonzalez Rizzo Kaufman LLP’s Construction Litigation practice group is staffed with experienced litigators with decades of experience successfully representing and defending clients against a wide variety of construction claims ranging from construction site accidents involving ordinary common law hazards, to New York Labor Law §§ 240/241(6) / Scaffold Law claims, OSHA / Industrial Code violations, design and construction defect, delay and liquidated damages claims, as well as defective workmanship, negligent inspection and supervision claims.

Our Construction Litigation attorneys represent owners, general contractors and various trade subcontractors and bring their deep knowledge of our clients’ industries to bear in favorably reviewing, negotiating and drafting contracts to mitigate our clients’ exposure risks. When necessary, we aggressively defend our clients’ interests, litigating matters from case inception through trials and appeals, all the while actively pursuing all avenues of risk transfer for indemnity and contribution that minimizes our clients’ indemnity and insurance loss run exposure. RPGRK is choice counsel among various insurance carriers that retain the Firm to represent their insureds in high exposure construction related litigation. Our attorneys also serve as direct outside General Counsel for various construction trade clients to review and negotiate contracts, advise on risk mitigation and best practices, and if need be, defend against claims and suits.
