What damages can I recover for a home construction defect, and who pays?
In a construction defect case, you may be able to recover the cost of repairs, reduction in property value, and consequential losses such as loss of use or rental income. The contractor may be held liable, and depending on the facts, so might subcontractors, design professionals, or product manufacturers.
What is the difference between arbitration and litigation, and which is better for my business dispute?
Litigation takes place in the public court system; arbitration is a private process with a neutral decision-maker. The right choice for your dispute depends on the terms of your contract, the importance of discovery, and whether you may want a public record or appellate review of the decision.
How can my company contest environmental and regulatory challenges to our logging operations?
Environmental challenges can threaten your business. Your legal options may include intervening in a case to defend your rights and to continue operations during litigation. Forest treatments and active forest management are needed as Montana experiences warmer weather, longer fire seasons, and disease and insect infestations throughout our forests.
