Claims Monitoring Counsel

Picture a Tuesday with no trial calendar on it. Instead there's a design build contract for a bridge on your desk, an engineer asking whether the AI tool his team's started using changes his exposure, and an insurer who wants your view by Thursday. That's this job. It's the other side of professional liability: instead of defending the architect after it goes wrong, you're advising them and their insurer so it doesn't, and when it does, you're monitoring the defense rather than running it. Large infrastructure projects across the US and Canada, $120k to $190k, and if you've spent years in construction litigation wondering what life looks like without a trial calendar, this is what it looks like.

Risk management, claims monitoring and strategic advice for design professionals and their insurers Big, complicated projects all over the United States and Canada Emerging issues, including the use of AI in design and new delivery models, rather than the same case fifty times You engage and manage local counsel rather than being local counsel $120k to $190k depending on experience What you'll be doing: Advising on risk management and how to avoid claims in the first place, contract reviews and seminars included Investigating, evaluating and monitoring the defense of complex professional liability claims Being the go between for underwriters and senior claims adjusters, with your own independent view on exposure Working out and negotiating how significant construction disputes get resolved Engaging and managing local counsel, properly, not just forwarding emails What you'll have: Complex civil litigation, ideally construction, or claims management, or time in the design and construction industry You've dealt with insurers Admitted to The California Bar The judgment to steer high value claims #J-18808-Ljbffr Distinct | North America
