Joseph S. Sestay, senior counsel in the firm’s Los Angeles office and Kerri Sakaue, an associate in the firm’s Los Angeles office, co-authored an article in the AGC of America Newsletter, Volume 3, Issue 2, March 2017. The article titled, “Construction Liability Without A Contract – The Erosion of the Economic Loss Rule” discusses how the California courts continue to expand liability with respect to holding third parties liable in a construction contract even though those third parties have no contractual relationship in the dispute. The article also addresses whether this issue is becoming a national trend in the industry.
