CONSTRUCTION & SURETY LAW DIVISION

Welcome to the Construction & Surety Law Division Webpage:

I am of counsel to Polin, Prisco & Villafane in Glen Cove, Long Island.   I have the honor of assuming the reins of the Construction & Surety Law Division from Henry H. Melchor.   NYSBA and TICL members have been particularly indebted to Mr. Melchor as he has served as the editor of the highly regarded and invaluable “Construction & Surety Law Newsletter”.  Thankfully, Henry will continue to serve as editor of that publication and Publications Chair of this Division. 

As Chairperson, it is my goal to increase our membership, promote the use of our Division List Serve, and encourage members to become more involved so that we may all benefit from a more diverse and expanded collective base of experience and wisdom. 

I would also like our Division to reach out to and share insight from various industry representatives who can give us all a richer and useful perspective on the various issues with which we deal every day.

All members can be part of our List Serve which allows members to exchange views, support each other, and engage in a state-wide dialogue on a host of issues in this field.  All you need do is join Torts Insurance and Compensation Law Section and its Construction & Surety Law Division, and we will add you to the list.

So that we may all benefit from members like you, I challenge you to join us if you have not already done so, become active, recruit friends, colleagues, and adversaries, and contribute to the varied publications that the association, Torts Insurance and Compensation Law Section and its various committees publish each year.  This can take the form of articles, case summaries and reviews, or notes on matters of interest.  You can post such an item in this field to this webpage by contacting me.  I’ll forward your article to the webpage manager.

I invite you to drop us a note or give us a call.  We welcome any suggestions you have to make this Division more helpful to our members.
