Architects & Engineers Liability Defense

Trusted Defense Counsel for Design Professionals Across New York and New Jersey

Architects, engineers, and other design professionals face increasing exposure to professional malpractice and construction defect claims. With evolving industry standards, technological advancements, and rising economic pressure, the legal landscape is more complex than ever.

At Morris Duffy Alonso Faley & Pitcoff, we bring decades of experience representing architects, engineers, surveyors, and environmental consultants in a wide range of litigation and disciplinary matters. Our attorneys understand that professional liability claims against design professionals require a different approach than those involving contractors or subcontractors. We tailor our strategies to reflect the unique standards of care, codes of ethics, and regulatory expectations in the design industry.
