Construction Law

Smith Freed & Eberhard’s Construction & Development Group represents our clients in all phases of construction defect litigation; including damage assessment and costs of reconstruction. Our knowledgeable construction law attorneys work closely with engineers and construction experts to determine sources and causes of construction defects. They represent contractors, developers and builders on issues of construction liability and damages.

In addition, some of our construction defect litigation attorneys have professional engineering and construction backgrounds themselves, which proves beneficial when providing counsel to clients with cases and construction claims involving structural integrity and building construction methods.

The EIFS Epidemic — The Construction Defect Defense Group at Smith Freed & Eberhard has established itself as a leader in the area of EIFS claims.

Our construction law practice has built one of the largest construction case litigation histories of EIFS claims in the states of Oregon and Washington. We have represented contractors, manufacturers, and insurance companies as these claims have increased, and have litigated cases ranging from tens of thousands to millions of dollars. Smith Freed & Eberhard’s construction defect litigation attorneys are proud to be recognized as Portland’s premier construction defect litigators.
