Legal Services for Design Professionals

Marvin Chorzempa & Larson has a unique blend of design professionals and attorneys that allows us to provide excellent service to the design community. You won’t have to explain to us what a rain screen system is, or a phi angle, or percolation rates. We know. We have been in the trenches on both the design side and the legal side. Let us use our skill set to help you.

Design professionals accused of negligence or malpractice in construction defect litigation face challenges that are different than most other types of professional liability claims. The design and construction industry is highly specialized and each case quickly becomes complex given the number of parties and industry-specific technical issues involved. Our attorneys have particular experience in successfully resolving professional liability / construction defect cases for designers and their insurance providers.

In addition to our professional liability defense / construction defect practice, we provide our design and construction clients with business representation. There are different types of corporations, partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and limited liability companies, and your selection of the type of entity will have tax and legal liability implications. We assist you in determining the appropriate choice of entity for your business and in registering your business with the Secretary of State.

We also negotiate and draft contracts, negotiate, draft and review lease agreements, and represent clients in collections and general civil litigation matters.

With our unique backgrounds we are custom-built to assist the design community with services including:

• Professional Liability
• Construction Defect Litigation
• Land Use, Zoning, and Permitting
• Business Formation
• Contract Drafting and Negotiation
