The Philosophy-The Approach

At Kushnick & Associates, the philosophy is simple: “provide high-quality cost-effective construction and commercial litigation services and help establish and implement a plan to avoid the problem in the future”. We are not constrained by the cost parameters of a large law-firm but we deliver the same punch. Our size and philosophy enables us to work on a matter with low or no profit, big or small, one hour or 1000 hours. Our experience in commercial, construction and general litigation enables a global assessment.

The approach is applied across the board whether your litigation problem involves a $250 punch list item or a multi-million dollar claim or defense, whether you have one matter with us or 50, whether you are a one man/women operation or a worldwide provider. In many instances, a brief consultation will result in the client working the matter out on their own with some basic input from us, rather than investing time, money and resources in costly litigation - in many instances we essentially convince you not to hire us. 

The General Counsel Approach

A limited view of a litigation problem provides limited results. We thrive on helping you assess your business goals and your litigation concerns. Is the reason you are in litigation over a certain project due to: inadequate contract documents, change order/additional work forms, lack of on-site supervision, reliance on oral agreements, personnel problems, communication problems? We are told many times each day: “it is simply wonderful that I can pick up the phone, speak with you and if I want, assess the big picture."
