Surety and Construction Bond Litigation Defense Attorneys

Anderson, McPharlin and Conners LLP has extensive experience representing issuers of contract and various other surety bonds. Our representation has included claim investigations and consultation, default analysis and negotiation, claims handling, litigation, mediation and arbitration, appeals, and advice in drafting various bond forms and endorsements. Our attorneys have been actively involved in major performance bond defaults, including the necessary investigation and documentation of the surety's position, as well as any attendant litigation.

Attorneys in the surety and construction practice have gained national prominence as a result of their successful representation of surety clients, their extensive writings and presentations on the subject, and their participation as officers and members of important bar association committees.

The goal of AMC's surety and construction team is to provide the highest level of legal knowledge to our clients in a timely and cost-effective manner. Client service is the cornerstone of our principles. Emphasis is placed upon accessibility and responsiveness. We have been able to achieve excellent results for our surety and construction clients in the investigation phase of the claim, in analyzing and handling claims, in preparing the case for trial, in mediating and arbitrating bond claims, and in trying and winning trials and appeals.

AMC has also done work on Completion Guaranties for movies, otherwise known as Motion Picture Completion Bonds.  These Bonds, issued by sureties to the financiers of independent motion pictures, provide financial assurance that the film will be completed and delivered to the sales agent on time for domestic and foreign sales.  The firm has had extensive practice in the negotiation, drafting, and litigating of these Completion Bonds and the firm has also worked on all manner of litigation respecting the problems attendant to such Bonds as well as the production of motion pictures in general.
