Construction (including construction litigation)  (Tier 4)

According to Legal 500 2012:

The team at Texas-based Bracewell & Giuliani LLP represents clients including contractors, engineers, architects, owners and developers in almost all types of real estate litigation. It has experience litigating cases relating to design and construction and water intrusion; claims asserted under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act; and claims involving residential property asserted under the Texas Residential Construction Liability Act. It has successfully represented NCI Group, Inc, one of the largest building component manufacturers, in a case against Cannon Storage Systems involving claims that one of NCI’s longstanding metal roofing products was defective; Cannon sought over $5m and after a three-week jury trial, a verdict was returned in favor of NCI. The practice is led by Phillip Sampson, who has experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in state courts, federal courts and before arbitration panels as well as successfully trying a number of jury and non-jury cases.
