Construction and Labor Law Litigation

Smith Sovik regularly represents the State of New York as well as counties, villages, cities, private contractors, sureties, architects and engineers in construction-related litigation. We often defend owners and contractors in personal injury lawsuits stemming from construction site accidents involving alleged violations of §240, §241(6) and §200 of the New York State Labor Law. We understand the nuances of construction defect litigation, the lien law, delay-related claims, surety claims and personal injury lawsuits under the Labor Law – and we use this experience to deliver winning results.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kristin over the past several years and have found the diligence and quality of her work to be excellent. She has a quick grasp of the pertinent issues involved and effectively develops and implements a tenacious defense strategy. I’ve worked with many defense attorneys over the course of my 37 year career and count her among the very best!
