David Suchar Interviewed for The American Bar Association's Construction Law Today Podcast on Insurance Issues in Construction Litigation

David Suchar, partner and chair of Maslon’s Construction & Real Estate Litigation Group, was interviewed for the September 26, 2019 episode of the American Bar Association's Construction Law Today podcast titled, "Insurance Issues in Construction Litigation." The episode discusses the basics of insurance law as it applies to construction litigation as well as some of the more complex insurance issues that arise in construction disputes. The American Bar Association plans to have David as a guest for a second installment of the “Insurance Issues in Construction Litigation” podcast later this year.

"As insurance coverage counsel, I am not just looking at the insurance issues in an academic way, I am trying to develop the best story for my client," David states on the podcast. He adds, "I also see myself as being part of the process of managing settlement and I think that is a unique role that we play as coverage counsel in these larger construction cases."

David, a skilled trial attorney, regularly represents clients in construction and insurance coverage disputes, government and internal investigations, and a variety of commercial litigation.
