TAMPA, Fla. — June 2, 2023 — Construction Executive, a leading B2B magazine for the construction industry, ranked Phelps 25th on The Top 50 Construction Law Firms™ list for 2023. This is the second year Phelps has been ranked.
To be named to the list, firms are evaluated based on reviews from lawyers at other firms, the number of architecture, engineering and construction sector clients they serve, as well as other factors such as the size, revenue and experience of the firm's construction practice.
“We are once again honored to be recognized among the nation’s top construction law practices,” said Phelps Partner Seth Schimmel, lead counsel for one of the primary defendants in In re Champlain Towers, the class action lawsuit arising out of the tragic collapse of Champlain Towers in Surfside Florida. “The Court’s express recognition of our efforts when it approved one of the largest class action settlements in Florida history was a reflection of our team’s quality and depth to handle the difficult matters for our clients.”
Phelps’ Construction and Design team spans 12 offices in six states and includes more than 30 experienced lawyers who have advised international and local construction companies through complex disputes and issues that arise through each phase of a construction project and upon completion.
