Arthur Chapman’s Construction Law Practice Group has extensive experience defending clients Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa in a wide variety of construction litigation, including claims of property damage and personal injury.
Our attorneys have represented parties in cases involving both commercial and residential construction. In these cases, our clients have included owners, general contractors, carpenters, drywallers, painters, masonry contractors, crane operators, stucco contractors, roofers, siding applicators, landscaping contractors, product suppliers and distributors, and window manufacturers. Our expertise encompasses arbitrations and mediations, in addition to our trial and appellate practice.
Currently, a great deal of our time is spent defending various parties in construction defect litigation involving residential water intrusion and mold claims. The lawyers in our construction law group have been involved in hundreds of these cases. Our experience in this area means we can help chart a course that seeks resolution in the most efficient manner possible. This is particularly important in these cases, where the road to resolution is fraught with high emotion on the part of homeowners and a great deal of frustration on the part of contractors and their insurers.
Our construction law attorneys also have a great deal of experience working with the indemnity and insurance coverage issues related to construction matters. Ted Smetak of our office has been recognized as a leading authority on insurance issues for over 25 years. His experience, and that of Jim Mewborn and Robert Kettering, has been invaluable to many clients dealing with coverage issues that are, at best, tremendously confusing.
