Design Professional Liability

Defending Architects, Engineers, and Surveyors in Utah

As the premier construction law firm in Utah, the attorneys of Babcock Scott & Babcock defend architects, engineers, and surveyors from professional liability claims for negligent design, errors, and omissions.

We also counsel design professionals in contract negotiation and risk management to avoid design negligence claims before they start. If you are an architect, engineer, or surveyor, or the insurer of design professionals, contact us at our Salt Lake City office to discuss your legal needs.

Our lawyers not only have extensive legal experience, we are also design professionals with significant practical design experience in architecture and engineering. We are active in industry associations such as the American Institute of Architects, the Construction Specifications Institute, and the Utah Engineers Council. We understand the specific concerns and issues design professionals face and use this practical experience to effectively represent our clients.

We often undertake the representation of our professional design clients and their insurance carriers. We also work closely with the carrier's adjuster to assure that the interests of the client and carrier are well represented.

For assistance with a design professional liability claim or to discuss risk management practices, contact us to schedule an appointment. We represent and counsel clients throughout Utah and the Intermountain West.
