As a design professional, you use your vision, technical knowledge and skills to create sound structures that please your clients. At the Los Angeles Law Office of Steven R. Lovett, we use our vision, technical knowledge and skills to create a sound legal strategy that pleases our clients.
Attorney Steven R. Lovett has been representing design professionals for over 30 years. We leverage his profound knowledge of the issues facing architects and engineers in an increasingly complicated construction law landscape. By focusing on preventive law and teaching our clients invaluable lessons about proactively protecting their interests, we are often able to avoid costly litigation.
Questions About Contracts?
A contract between you and your client sets out the terms of the project. Under California law, both architects and engineers are required to use a written contract when providing professional services. While many design professionals use a standard form, it may be in your best interest to have your lawyer draft a contract or go over any boilerplate contract language you have chosen to use.
A contract that holds up is one that is specific about the scope of the project and contains unambiguous language. We are here to make sure that your contract is comprehensive, fair and will be upheld in a court of law.
Questions About Liability?
Construction defects and professional negligence are the most common reasons architects and engineers face liability claims (learn more about attempts to impose liability). We have vast courtroom experience in defending against construction defect and other liability claims and will aggressively fight for a satisfactory settlement. Whenever possible, we will go to mediation or arbitration.
