Construction Defect Experience & Qualifications

Construction defect law is an extremely complex field, especially where Condominium Associations and HOAs are involved. Utilizing attorneys that are well versed and experienced in construction defect law is essential to a successful outcome.

Partners, Nicholas D. Cowie and T. Allen Mott, have each been handling construction defect claims on behalf of community associations for over 20 years and have been involved in some of the largest cases that have shaped Maryland law in favor of condominium associations. In addition, Cowie & Mott’s work with the legislature in drafting new laws has also resulted in the extension of statutory warranty periods applicable to homeowner and condominium associations as well as closing many developer loopholes that prevented associations from protecting their warranty rights. Our firm has negotiated repair agreements and litigated/settled construction defect disputes with most of the large developers and builders in the mid-Atlantic region and our capabilities are familiar to them and their attorneys.
