Carol Sigmond Highlights Nossaman’s Construction Practice, NYC Office in Mann Report
Carol Sigmond spoke to Mann Report about joining Nossaman in its New York City office and starting up the Firm’s construction practice in the region for the article “Carol Sigmond Launches Nossaman LLP Construction Practice in New York.” Carol, as well as Joshua Deal, Youju Min and Christopher Leuhs—all residents of the NYC office—were featured as the lead story on the website and on the cover of the print edition of Mann Report to promote the article.
The article discusses how Carol “and her colleagues Joshua Deal, partner, and Christopher Luehs, associate, are now bringing [their practice] to Nossaman LLP, becoming their own construction-focused sub-specialty within the larger Infrastructure Group.” Mann Report notes, “The team handles construction and real estate industry-related matters including construction defect litigation, arbitration, appeals, bid protests, contract preparation, mediation, litigation, receivership and suretyship and litigates construction disputes for public works and private buildings.”
The article goes on to note that Carol “focuses her practice on construction and real estate matters, including arbitration, appeals, bid protests, contract preparation, mediation, litigation, receivership and suretyship. She represents clients in construction litigation relating to issues that arise when adjacent owners develop their properties, as well as expediting a builder’s construction project by ensuring that the proper contracts are in place. She also is an experienced mediator and arbitrator handling construction and real estate cases for the New York County Supreme Court Commercial Division Roster of Volunteer Mediators and the American Arbitration Association’s Roster of Construction Industry Arbitrators.”
Joshua is praised for being an “experienced litigator in state and federal courts in New York and New Jersey” where he “represents owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers in litigation and transactional matters relating to construction [and works with] construction industry clients on contract disputes, construction defect claims, delay claims, payment and performance bond claims, mechanic’s lien claims and adjacent property damage claims.”
Elizabeth Cousins, chair of Nossaman’s Infrastructure Group, told Mann Report, “Carol and Joshua are best-in-class litigators with extensive experience in the construction litigation field and deep relationships in the New York market and nationally. Their practice builds on the strength of the litigation arm of our Infrastructure Group further enhancing our ability to advise clients through all aspects of the construction project lifecycle, while adding a robust presence in New York.”
