With a proprietary pre-suit resolution process and contingency fee structure, our team has earned multimillion-dollar recoveries in construction defect and policy coverage litigation involving commercial, mixed-use, multiunit residential, high-rise and taxpayer-funded projects. Our experienced team levels the field in legal disputes to maximize returns, ensuring that projects are resilient, built to last and free from defects.

Too often, construction contractors, design professionals and insurance companies enjoy a distinct advantage in defect and claim litigation. The insurance and construction industries rely on the fact that owners view these disputes as costly, time-consuming and a distraction from the bottom line. An aggressive and proactive counter to this attitude starts with meticulous and deep preparation. And experience resolving complex, high-stakes commercial disputes in these areas not only matters — it’s critical to success.

As commercial contingency lawyers, Gravely PC bears litigation costs on the front end. The firm’s team of construction experts performs an on-site physical audit to identify the complete measure of damage and the specific defective work and/or system. What went wrong and when? How did it go wrong? Is there any related damage to other parts of the facility? The Gravely team answers these and 50 other questions to prepare the strongest possible claim from the outset. We respond quickly, investigate meticulously, and demand and expect prompt compensation, in full, from responsible parties. If delayed or denied, we respond aggressively and effectively.

Main Areas of Practice:

Construction Defects: Our firm has seen every construction problem imaginable in every type of private- and public-sector building. These defects are not always obvious, so it’s important to be vigilant once a construction project is complete. Budget-weary owners, managers, boards and others with oversight responsibilities are often reluctant to raise questions after the punch list is complete. The Gravely PC contingency-fee model means the firm assumes all costs to inspect and investigate any potential problems and — if problems are uncovered — reach resolutions that make business sense.

Insurance Claim Disputes: Insurance companies know that owners are most vulnerable after extreme weather, a natural disaster or an accident damages their property. Unfortunately, this is also when they’re likely to take advantage of policyholders, hiding behind massive and complex policy language and terms. Our lawyers know the law and bad-faith insurers’ strategies inside and out. We help schools, universities, hospitals, private businesses, local and state governments, and other public and private entities recover when insurance companies incorrectly dispute, wrongly delay or even fraudulently deny property damage claims. For business clients, we make sure that recoveries include business-interruption damages they’re entitled to.

Business Litigation: We know that an aggressive and proactive approach to resolving complex high-stakes commercial disputes starts with preparation. We believe a litigator who’s prepared for trial favorably settles more matters than those who take a more conciliatory approach. Where no resolution is possible, we are ready for trial. We stand up for businesses against illegal business practices and misconduct of corporations of every sort, from lenders to competitors and beyond.

Appeals: Our firm practices at the intersection of appellate law and construction and insurance litigation. We staff all litigation for appeal, ensuring that every case is best positioned to capitalize on appellate rulings at every level, all the way to the Supreme Court of Texas. In addition to benefitting clients directly, the firm’s appellate work has resulted in lasting court opinions that have preserved the rights of policyholders in claim disputes and property owners in defect litigation.
