The Firm
The representation of design professionals, particularly architects and engineers, remains the mainstay of this "dedicated and effective" team's practice, and market commentators are in no doubt as to the group's continuing status as leaders for such work. The frequent handling of design, defect and insurance-related litigation is a celebrated feature of this practice, and praise is directed toward the specialist advice provided to the firm's cadre of national design professional clients. Although a smaller portion of the practice is spent representing contractors and owners, the "industrious" attitudes displayed by this 20-plus group of attorneys ensured both client and peer approval.
The Lawyers
Clients favor the "terrific" Joe Downs for his impressive problem-solving abilities: "He strives to achieve optimum results for his clients and doesn't litigate for the sake of litigating." Consummate in his understanding of the issues facing the design industry, he regularly acts for architects in their disputes arising in the professional liability defense arena.
Sources perceive Michael Kashtan's "fully considered and fair approach" to matters as seeing him apart from competitors in the area. He was endorsed by sources for his construction and insurance coverage litigation practice and has recently been advising a design team in such capacity.
