Construction Litigation
Bill Doyle and the Construction Litigation team coordinate, manage, and try these frequently complex cases, which require not only a strong grasp of design, construction and the law, but also a sensitivity to the relationships between and among commercial and residential real estate developers, general contractors, and sub-contractors in cases dealing with construction defects, breach of contract and breach of warranty.

Class Action Litigation
Whether in the context of a construction defect or products liability case, we understand and enjoy the challenge of these cases. We have been successful in challenging class certification, in working with national counsel, and in coordinating defenses and coverages. But we remember not to lose track of the forest for the trees, realizing that, once the dust settles over the procedural issues, we are trying a case.

Catastrophic Bodily Injury Defense
We defend a variety of commercial entities in cases dealing with large personal injury and property damage claims. We have found that our quick response to the accident scene is invaluable in the critical fact-gathering process and in defending these cases as they proceed to trial.

Products Liability Defense
We are proud of our track record in representing manufacturers and suppliers in cases dealing with everything from sports equipment to medical devices. Bill Doyle heads this practice area.

Bad Faith and Insurance Coverage
Whether in the context of a declaratory judgment action, a third-party bad faith claim or a tender of defense analysis, these cases require a thoughtful and strategic approach. Bill Doyle provides the leadership needed to address the interplay of insurance contract analysis, the facts and
the ever-changing law in this area.

Health Care Liability Defense
We defend health care facilities, physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses and other health care professionals against claims of professional negligence, in long-term care litigation, and in disciplinary board actions. With over 10 years experience in the health care field and over 15 years in health care liability defense, our representation is focused and thorough.

Professional Liability Defense
We represent all type of licensed professionals, including architects, accountants, engineers, real estate brokers, insurance agents and securities brokers and dealers. We understand the importance of retaining the right experts for the job, preparing our clients for deposition, trial or NASD arbitration, and accurately assessing liability exposure and damages. Bill Doyle takes the lead on these cases.

Appellate Advocacy
We are experienced in analyzing the record and the law in providing effective and strategic appellate representation, whether it is for a case we have taken to trial or cases tried by other counsel. Andrew Bell is our appellate specialist.
