The defense of condominium and homeowner associations in D&O claims is an area of deep strength at M | R | N both from the perspective of an in-house insurance claims counsel and as a private practice defense counsel. The firm defends association board members in a wide range of claims, including lien foreclosures, employment matters, emotional support animals, and other property management issues.

M | R | N is also skilled in the representation of build and design architects, electrical and structural engineers, construction managers, surveyors, HVAC contractors, real estate agents, and other build/design professionals when allegations of errors or omissions are filed. Members of the firm have an in-depth understanding of the issues typically raised in professional liability claims, including the interpretation and scope of indemnity agreements, applicability of the economic loss rule, contractual liability, and contributory negligence.

When there are overlapping professional liability policies, such as A&E coverage as well as an owner’s protective professional indemnity (OPPI ) policy, our construction attorneys review all relevant policy provisions to identify potential resolution strategies. Litigation avoidance is always a priority, as members of the firm strive to negotiate confidential settlements on behalf of professional service clients in order to protect their reputation and privacy interests.
