opportunities; as such claims may have priority over those of a construction lender. Finally, architects may be able to secure
additional remedies by asserting patent and copyright claims to the intellectual property inherent in their work. With substantive
expertise in both engineering and intellectual property, we are well qualified to handle the often complex legal needs of design
professionals.
