Global Legal Chronicle, “Kaufman Dolowich Adds Construction Litigation partner Kenneth Coronel to LA Office,” 8-27-2026

The Global Legal Chronicle highlighted the addition of veteran litigator Kenneth Coronel to the firm’s Los Angeles office. Mr. Coronel brings more than 35 years of litigation and counseling experience, with a particular focus on construction disputes and professional liability matters. He represents developers, project managers, general contractors, subcontractors, engineers, architects and other design professionals in complex disputes involving construction defects, contractual claims, mechanics liens and payment claims. His broader practice encompasses business and commercial litigation and insurance defense.

“Ken’s depth of experience in construction litigation and his ability to step into complex, high-exposure matters will be a tremendous asset to our clients,” noted Dove A.E. Burns, Managing Partner of Kaufman Dolowich’s California offices. “He has represented virtually every participant in the construction process and understands these disputes from all sides. His addition meaningfully expands our capabilities in California, particularly in large and complex construction defect matters.”

For more than three decades, Mr. Coronel has handled construction disputes involving projects ranging from condominium complexes and large residential developments to high-end custom homes, high-rises, commercial properties and industrial facilities. His experience includes representing developers and contractors in matters involving significant potential exposure as well as managing complex, multiparty construction defect litigation.

Mr. Coronel also defends engineers, architects and other professionals against negligence, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty claims. He has experience in matters involving homeowners’ associations and condominium complexes and will complement the firm’s existing capabilities in those areas.

“I was looking for a firm where I could bring the full breadth of my experience to bear on clients’ most difficult problems while working in a collegial, personal culture,” Mr. Coronel said in the article. “Kaufman Dolowich stood out to me for the quality of its lawyers, the strength of its practices and the collaborative environment the firm has built. At this stage of my career, my focus is on being of service to clients, taking on complex matters, finding practical solutions and helping them reach effective resolutions.”
