Built to serve Owners

We help associations address construction problems—defective siding, roofing, plumbing, and more—by investigating issues, identifying liable parties, and securing recovery for repairs. Our team guides boards through inspections, insurance reviews, and resolution strategies. Whether through negotiation or litigation, we work to hold developers and contractors accountable. From first notice to final outcome, we help associations navigate complex construction claims with clarity and resolve.

Insurance coverage disputes often stand between associations and critical repairs. We help unlock policies to recover for property damage, liability, and board defense claims. Our attorneys interpret coverage, challenge exclusions, and engage insurers with strategic precision. We assist clients in both proactive planning and active claims, making sure insurance fulfills its role when communities need it most.

Our attorneys prioritize efficient dispute resolution through mediation, negotiation, and strategic Dispute Resolution Agreements (DRAs). These tools allow associations to avoid court when possible—saving time, money, and stress. We’ve recovered hundreds of millions for clients through carefully crafted DRAs and well-prepared mediations. When trial isn’t ideal, we use creative approaches to keep disputes private, efficient, and effective.

When defective building products cause damage, we help associations pursue claims against manufacturers and suppliers. From plumbing components to siding failures, our attorneys assess liability and advise on direct legal actions or class participation. We’re skilled in identifying how product issues contribute to broader construction defects—and in recovering compensation to address the harm done.

Not every dispute can be resolved outside the courtroom. Our litigators are seasoned trial attorneys with successful verdicts in Washington and Oregon. We also handle appeals in-house, offering consistent representation throughout. Whether filing suit or defending your position, we prepare every case for trial—building credibility from day one and delivering strong courtroom advocacy when it matters.

We handle complex litigation tied to our core practice: commercial real estate disputes, bad faith insurance, breach of contract, indemnity, and multi-party claims. If your issue evolves beyond construction defects, our attorneys remain your single point of trusted counsel—qualified to manage it all from filing to resolution.

We provide general counsel services to a select group of new and longstanding community association clients, offering trusted, ongoing legal support tailored to the operational realities of complex residential communities. Our team advises boards on a broad spectrum of matters, including corporate governance, covenant and rule enforcement, regulatory compliance, contract negotiation and review, annual meeting issues, voting/election oversight, and risk management.

We work directly with association boards to provide clear, timely, and actionable guidance, helping directors make informed decisions that balance legal obligations, community interests, and fiduciary responsibilities. At the same time, we collaborate closely with community managers and management companies to ensure continuity and efficiency in day-to-day operations—always with an understanding that the board is our client and the final decision-making authority.

Our goal is to empower boards with the legal insight they need to lead effectively, maintain transparency, and manage their communities with confidence. We don’t look to needlessly escalate conflict—wherever possible we focus on practical, consensus-oriented solutions that preserve relationships and promote a sense of unity within the community. Whether advising on sensitive enforcement matters, reviewing vendor contracts, or supporting major capital projects, we strive to guide boards toward practical outcomes that reflect the long-term interests of the entire community. Our counsel is relationship-oriented, grounded in experience, and always aligned with the board’s role as stewards of the association.
