Orbach Huff Suarez & Henderson

Highly Engaged Employees

OHSH was founded in 1997 by David Orbach and David Huff, joined by Sharon Suarez in 2004 and Phil Henderson in 2009. The company's practice focuses almost exclusively on representing public agencies in every aspect of their building projects, from project clearance under the California Environmental Quality Act to the acquisition of property to mit... igating contamination, to construction disputes and litigation. The company's firm represents numerous public agencies, including school and community college districts, municipalities and water districts, as well as a select group of private developers, which includes the developer of the largest multi-use project in California. A wide-array of public agencies has specifically sought the company's legal services in the public works construction context as the company has successfully handled hundreds of millions of dollars in claim disputes and litigation in the last year alone related to school construction and improvement projects. The company has developed a hands-on work style specializing in the representation of developers and public agencies in the planning, implementation and finalization of modernization, and ground-up construction programs. What this means is that the company is as comfortable on the project site as the company is in the courtroom. This comfort translates directly into tangible benefits for the company's clients in that, oftentimes, field personnel are simply more relaxed and forthright speaking with a lawyer who brings a hard hat to a project site instead of polished loafers.Read More
