Dennis A. Estis, chair of the firm’s Construction Practice Group, will be on the faculty of the “2019 Construction Law Forum: Handling the Construction Defect Case,” to be presented on Thursday, June 6, 2019 by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education, in cooperation with the New Jersey State Bar Association’s Construction Law and Insurance Law Sections, at the New Jersey Law Center.

The Construction Law Forum will provide a day of in-depth analysis of some of the issues that arise in construction defect cases in New Jersey. Mr. Estis and his fellow panelists will provide a practical and strategic discussion of many of the legal challenges encountered by the different parties in construction defect cases. The program will also include a detailed discussion of the insurance coverage issues that often become critical in the settlement discussions that take place. In addition, attendees will gain perspective from a retired Judge, and now active mediator, on the most effective ways to present a construction defect claim at the mediation stage.

Mr. Estis concentrates his practices on complex commercial litigation, with a particular focus on construction law, condominium and community association law, public entity law and alternative dispute resolution. He has served as an arbitrator and mediator for numerous private and public entities, and has participated as both an advocate and as a neutral in hundreds of mediation proceedings.  He is an American Arbitration Association trained mediator and arbitrator and sits on the AAA’s national panel.
