Although claims related to mold are certainly not new, changing construction techniques, increasing medical concerns about the dangers of mold, and intense media attention have combined to stimulate litigation activity in this field of environmental law.

Our attorneys have been handling claims related to indoor air quality and sick buildings since those terms were coined. Our experience in counseling and defending clients in construction and environmental cases uniquely qualifies our team to assist clients with the emerging issues of mold claims.

Our mold litigation practice group's experience includes:

• Representation of a national homebuilder in a class action lawsuit
• Litigation of property damage claims arising from home renovation projects
• Counseling a sub-contractor in a series of wrongful death suits arising from mold infestation during a hospital construction project
• Litigation of personal injury claims resulting from indoor air concerns in office buildings
• Consultation with industrial hygienists on risk management issues

Because of our knowledge and practical experience, our attorneys have been invited to address architectural groups, attorneys, and insurance company representatives on mold issues. In addition, through our many years in this field, we have developed a network of consultants who can assist with the investigation and repair of building envelope problems and, if necessary, offer their expertise in the litigation process.

Having worked on many mold cases, we are familiar with many situations that you may encounter as an owner, tenant, builder, or contractor. Contact a member of our team to discuss your needs.
