Andrew Richard Chisholm

Andrew's practice emphasizes general business litigation. His legal experience and academic background provide him with the skills to handle a wide range of business matters. Clients benefit from his energetic, innovative and effective approach in representing their interests.

Andrew has extensive experience representing project owners, contractors, and suppliers regarding enforcement of liens in private construction projects, and handling claims on performance bonds/retainage in public jobs. He has successfully litigated hundreds of these lawsuits on behalf of his clients.

A growing area of Andrew's practice is insurance coverage. Andrew has experience securing coverage on behalf of his clients when disputes arise with their insurers, having successfully handled coverage disputes in areas such as: construction defects, intellectual property claims, employee dishonesty, work site accidents, and other business related issues. He has recovered millions of dollars from insurers who initially denied coverage. Not only is indemnity (coverage for the damage) crucial for the client, but in addition, the insurer's contractual obligation to pay the client's legal fees in defending claims of alleged liabilities is an integral

part of securing coverage.

Andrew also represents business and public housing authorities in landlord-tenant matters. He has litigated contested evictions with consistently favorable results and has developed policy and procedure manuals to assist in effectively resolving disputes for his clients.
