Overview

Many of our attorneys have experience representing issuers of contract and various other surety bonds and general forms of fidelity bonds. In the areas of fidelity, surety, and construction matters, these attorneys are trained to investigate claims, provide consultation, conduct default analyses and negotiation, handle claims, litigate, mediate, arbitrate, handle appeals, and advise our clients.

We have been actively involved in major performance and payment bond defaults, including investigating and documenting the surety’s position, as well as any attendant litigation.

We place emphasis upon accessibility and responsiveness. We achieve results for our fidelity, surety and construction clients in the investigation phase, in analyzing and handling claims, in preparing cases for trial, in mediating and arbitrating bond disputes, and in trying cases in court.

Our attorneys are also proud of the success we have had at the courthouse. Members of our firm have also achieved positions of responsibility and esteem in national and state advocacy organizations such as the Inn of Court, Association of Trial Lawyers of America, International Order of Barristers, National Bar Association, American Bar Association, American College of Trial Lawyers and others.

PRETRIAL STRATEGY

Our primary objective is to assist you in creating creative solutions to resolve your fidelity and surety disputes before they ripen into full-blown litigation. We have experience in pre-suit mediation and mandatory arbitration of fidelity and surety disputes.

SUBSTANTIVE LITIGATION

Our lawyers are trained to handle all aspects of fidelity and surety, and construction disputes. We promptly investigate claims, determine fault, assess defenses and prepare cases for trial or appeal. Or where possible, we can often negotiate favorable settlements.
