Fabiani Cohen & Hall, LLP’s construction litigation practice is the cornerstone of our firm and involves the representation of general contractors, construction managers, subcontractors, private owners, developers and municipal entities in connection with insurance coverage disputes, contractual claims and the defense of property damage and bodily injury cases.

What makes our firm different from the rest is our “big picture” approach to the defense of our clients. We generally tend to handle all of their local claims and are therefore familiar with their projects, their field and office personnel, their records and record keeping practices, and where applicable, their subcontractors. Lawyers are assigned by project in order to maintain a consistent approach to discovery and client requests for information. There is partner oversight on each and every file to maintain a consistent approach to the litigation and to lend the perspective of a trial attorney. We also make it our business to understand the business of our clients. This enables us to speak with field personnel in a way that they understand and to gain the trust which is essential to a witnesses’ peak performance at deposition and at trial.

We follow developments in the Labor Law and related insurance areas on a daily basis, are quick to advise our clients of changes in the law, have re-written many of their indemnification and insurance procurement clauses and have provided much-needed advice on informal equipment loan policies, short-term rentals (of equipment to subcontractors) and the (antisubrogation) pitfalls of using OCIP (Owner Controlled Insurance Program) policies. Fabiani Cohen & Hall is well known in the business as a trial firm that handles cases from inception through trial and appeal.
