September 23, 2019

Boyd & Jenerette is pleased to announce the expansion of its Construction Law Group with the addition of partner Gregory Kahn, who is based in the Miami area. He is Board Certified in Construction Law by The Florida Bar, qualifying him as an expert in the field. In addition, Mr. Kahn has been recognized by Florida Super Lawyers as a “Rising Star” in the area of Construction Litigation from 2016 to the present.

“Greg has extensive experience defending construction contractors and design professionals in multi-million dollar claims,” said shareholder and construction practice group leader Beth-Ann Schulman. “He handles disputes involving luxury homes and condominiums, apartment building renovations, commercial pipe systems, and other construction projects.”

Mr. Kahn’s practice focuses on the representation of design professionals, contractors, subcontractors, developers, insurers, businesses and individuals in all areas of construction law. He has a broad range of experience in both transactional and litigation matters including, but not limited to design and construction defect litigation, contract disputes, delay claims, insurance defense, construction contract drafting and review, judgment enforcement and collection, licensing and professional regulation of contractors and design professionals, liens, and other complex construction and commercial disputes.

In terms of notable cases, Mr. Kahn defended an internationally recognized engineer against a $25 million claim related to an explosion at the Miami International Airport fuel farm, defended an architect against a $30 million claim related to alleged design defects at one of Miami’s premier luxury condominium projects, defended a nationally recognized water treatment contractor against a $20 million claim related to systemic failure of the HVAC system in a 495-unit condominium complex, and defended an internationally recognized engineer against a $26 million claim related to the conversion of apartment project.

Prior to joining Boyd & Jenerette, Mr. Kahn worked for a construction law firm for eight years where he represented design professionals, developers, contractors, and subcontractors in all areas of construction law. He was promoted to partner within just five years of practicing law with the firm.

Mr. Kahn is admitted to practice law in Florida (2011), as well as the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.

He holds a J.D., cum laude, from the University of Miami School of Law and a B.S. in Government and Politics from the University of Maryland, College Park.
