The firm represents and assists various civil contracting entities that engage in private site work for residential subdivisions, and provides representation for contract disputes with municipalities, disputes arising from erosion control violations, and those disputes involving boundaries, encroachment and damages to adjacent sites and the work of others.
Construction Contracts
As construction contracts move away from commercial litigation in a court room setting, the lawyers of Allen Summers are well positioned and experienced in handling arbitration, mediation and other alternative dispute resolution situations. Its lawyers are formally trained and certified at both the state and federal level in mediation, and have engaged in ADR for many years, not only as an advocate for their client, but have provided mediation and neutral services to litigants in a variety of construction and contractual disputes.

Workers Compensation
"We enlisted the professional counsel of Allen Summers early in 2006 to help us address a long-standing issue with workers' compensation. Over the years we were unsuccessful in our attempts to get these costs under control. The attorneys of Allen Summers quickly grasped the depth of this issue and began providing us counsel to mitigate these costs. Moreover, their counsel has enabled us to begin to change a culture which has resulted in a significant cost reduction in this area and will be carried forward into the future." said Jim Ambrose, General Plant Manager of Kellogg's Memphis, Tennessee manufacturing facility.

Construction Litigation
The construction lawyers at Allen Summers are well versed in drafting, negotiating and interpreting contracts that form the basis of the construction project. Construction insurance coverage issues are also areas in which the firm excels. When a client receives a reservation of rights notice from its carrier, we recommend that the client check first with counsel before assuming no coverage exists for the claim being made. The firm assists its clients in working with other parties to the construction contract to reach fair and amicable settlements that preserve the business relationship and allow for continued opportunities on new projects.

He represents a major shopping center ownership group in matters of liability, contracts, leasing and landlord tenant disputes. He serves as major case counsel for one of the largest CGL carriers in the United States. Summers has lectured at the University of Tennessee for the Health Sciences on a variety of medical-legal issues, and also lectures on E-discovery and technology from time to time to various groups.
