Calgary Litigation Boutique for Negligent Construction and Professional Liability Claims

With so many elements and moving parts, the parties involved in a construction project must rely on one another to complete their respective elements to a reasonable professional and/or industry standard, without carelessness or negligence. Parties also rely on information and advice from engineering and design professionals and other experts to make informed decisions about a project. Negligent advice or construction completed below standards can attract significant liability and have serious legal and financial consequences. 

At HMC Lawyers, we have decades of experience working closely with construction industry clients and property owners. Our Construction Team has helped clients recover damages arising from negligent construction or substandard professional advice. We have also successfully defended professional clients and contractors that have been faced with allegations of negligence or breach of contract.
