THOMPSON & BOWIE, LLP’s reputation is derived in large part from its expert and sensitive handling of professional liability cases. We are committed to serving our clients with the highest standards of professional competence and cost-effective service. We represent doctors, dentists, allied health professionals, architects, engineers, accountants, attorneys, surveyors and real estate brokers. Through this experience we have gained technical expertise in each of these areas as well as an understanding of the specialized issues that arise when a professional is accused of tortuous misconduct.
We have significant experience in the field of construction law, having been the pre-eminent design professional defense firm in Maine for nearly three decades. Our clients include many of the leading architectural and engineering firms in the state, as well as numerous out-of-state and international firms who have chosen to do business here. We have extensive experience in construction litigation, arbitration of construction and design-related claims, contract interpretation and contract drafting, and risk management. Our understanding of the substantive issues underlying construction delay and design claims allows us to efficiently and effectively resolve disputes and represent our clients’ interests.
We also have significant experience in medical malpractice litigation, representing physicians, hospitals, dentists, podiatrists and a variety of allied health professionals. We litigate cases through Maine’s pre-litigation screening panel process, as well as at trial. Accordingly, we have understanding of the unique procedural issues inherent in the defense of claims against medical care providers in Maine, as well as knowledge of the substantive areas of medical care which give rise to such claims. We have had excellent results in representing health care providers before both administrative panels and juries throughout the state.
Our exceptional experience in professional liability cases has helped us recognize the intensely personal nature of this litigation regardless of the profession involved. For our clients, our sensitivity to the personal and emotional issues inherent in this litigation is particularly important, especially at a time when a professional reputation may be on the line. We believe that our caring and professional handling of these claims has been as important to our clients as our string of successes in favorably resolving the claims involving those clients.
