April 23, 2020 – The 2020 edition of Chambers USA has once again recognized Becker with a top billing Band 1 ranking in its Florida Construction category. The esteemed guide has recognized Becker’s Construction Law & Litigation Practice every year since it began publishing its global law firm rankings.
The publication notes that the firm has “a strong presence across the state of Florida, with a reputation for representing the owners of construction projects, including associations and developers.” A market observer states that Becker “is definitely an industry leader.”
Steven Lesser, Chair of the firm’s Construction Law & Litigation Practice, and Lee A. Weintraub, Vice Chair, have both received Band 1 recognition in Construction, a designation they have held for the last several years. Sources of the publication deem Mr. Lesser “a leader in the field” with a “very deep command of construction law in the state of Florida. Likewise, Mr. Weintraub is praised as an “exceptional lawyer” who is “very knowledgeable and well connected in the Florida construction world.”
Sanjay Kurian, a Construction Shareholder in Becker’s Ft. Myer’s office, was also recognized again this year, advancing in the rankings to Band 3 of the Construction category. Chambers notes that Mr. Kurian “has a strong construction practice, which includes recent experience in defect cases.”
With one of the largest, dedicated teams of Florida Bar Board Certified Construction attorneys, Becker’s Construction Law Practice is well-regarded nationally for its knowledge of the construction industry and experience effectively protecting the interests of its clients. The firm has handled numerous and varied construction-related cases, many of which have involved complex delay issues with a multitude of defendants, and scores of construction defects.
