Build Smart: Insurance secrets before the first beam

Before we begin, I'll let the Chris's introduce themselves.

Chris Kaliba.

Hey, everybody.

This is Chris Kaliba.

I am based at Reed Smith's Miami office, though my practice is nationwide and consists primarily of insurance coverage and construction defect litigation.

Glad to be here.

Chris Mosley.

Thanks, Jess.

I'm Chris Mosley.

I'm a partner in Reed Smith's Denver office, like Chris Kaliba.

My practice is national with a heavy emphasis on representing developers and general contractors in construction-related matters, whether it's assisting in risk management at the beginning of a project, or handling claims on the back end.

And I have been involved in some of the major legislation here in Colorado addressing construction defect and construction defect insurance.

And I'm glad to be here.

And I am Jessica Gopial.

I'm counsel at Reed Smith, and I'm also a proud member of the firm's insurance recovery group.

In addition to advocating for policyholders, I do have some experience representing project owners, developers, contractors, and subcontractors with their construction disputes.
