Architect and Engineer Licensing

Laws and regulations governing the licensing and practice of architecture, engineering, surveying, and landscape architecture vary from state to state. They are enmeshed in related laws governing corporate professional practice, insurance, liens, and intellectual property. Understanding each of these areas is fundamental to any law practice that deals with the rights, obligations, and duties of the design professional - and the building industry in general.

Ultimately, the most significant of those obligations and duties are those that safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of the public. An understanding of the duties and rights of the licensed designer is fundamental to drafting construction and design contracts that make practical sense and are effective in reducing the possibility of costly disputes.

Our firm helps owners, contractors, and design professionals address these issues throughout the design and construction process - and after it.
