Design and Construction Litigation and Dispute Resolution

EXPERIENCE
MPM has over 30 years experience representing architects, engineers, contractors, owners, subcontractors, underwriters, financing companies, and others in disputes arising out of a wide variety of construction projects. From traditional "brick and mortar" building projects to the most sophisticated alternative energy power facilities, we have guided our clients to successful resolution of their design and construction disputes.

TECHNOLOGY
We routinely use state of the art technology both in and out of the courtroom or arbitration hearing to protect our clients' interests. Construction disputes invariably involve a web of complex relationships and specialized technical issues that require intense analysis. Ultimately, however, our task in making an effective presentation, whether in the context of negotiations, ADR, or before a judge or jury, is to simplify and illustrate the issues to be decided. To gain the edge for our clients and to control litigation costs, we have armed ourselves with the most advanced computer technology available for graphics and multimedia display, and for effective management of documents and transcripts. Each attorney and staff member is trained to use these systems efficiently as a means of cutting client costs, while maximizing the impact of the presentation of our client's case. We would be pleased to demonstrate for you how we have used this technology in past cases and to discuss how it could be used in presenting your case in the best possible light.
