Business and Corporate Law

• Business Disputes
• Construction Contracts
  A critical issue in most Labor Law claims is whether the client’s defense and indemnification can be successfully transferred to another party who performed work at the jobsite, whether pursuant to hold harmless or “additional insured” contractual provisions or through the “grave injury” exception in Section 11 of the New York Workers’ Compensation Law. Not only have we minimized exposure and accomplished total loss transfer in many cases, but we also have a track record of fully recovering the attorneys’ fees and defense costs expended on behalf of our clients from the indemnifying party. Our knowledge of these legal issues also enables us to draft construction contracts with appropriate indemnification and insurance provisions to protect our clients before work begins at the jobsite and potentially to avoid costly litigation should an accident occur.
