    Massachusetts Construction Industry Continues to Wait While Prompt Payment Law Is Put to the Test

    March 31, 2026 —
    Earlier this month, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) heard argument in J.C. Cannistraro, LLC v. Columbia Construction Co. et al., a dispute concerning the state’s Prompt Payment Act (PPA). Although a decision has yet to be issued, it could potentially pose widespread implications for high-value private construction projects moving forward – and perhaps backwards. The PPA, G. L. c. 149, § 29E, enacted by the Massachusetts Legislature in 2010, has become a keystone in the construction industry. It was enacted to address, in part, downstream cash flow issues that tend to pervade construction projects by mandating a series of strict guidelines for submitting, and responding to, payment applications for private projects valued over $3,000,000. Amongst these requirements are set timeframes to respond to an application, as well as what must be contained in an application rejection. Critically, if an owner or upper-tier contractor fails to fully comply with all the statutory requirements in response to a proper payment application, the application is automatically “deemed to be approved” and payable. Significantly, however, this is not always the end of the line. Read the full story...

    Kahana Feld Secures Voluntary Discontinuance With Prejudice in High-Exposure Trip-and-Fall Case

    December 22, 2025 —
    Kahana Feld partners Rachael Marvin and Dominic Donato recently achieved a significant victory in Kings County obtaining a voluntary discontinuance with prejudice of a high-exposure trip-and-fall lawsuit just before oral argument on defendants’ motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff claimed they were injured after tripping on an allegedly worn and cracked exterior stair at the clients’ property. However, through careful investigation and strategic motion practice, our team argued that the accident did not occur on the defendants’ premises, but instead on a nearby MTA subway platform, as identified by eyewitness accounts and plaintiff’s medical records. Additionally, our defense medical expert opined that the plaintiff’s severe leg injuries were inconsistent with the claimed fall location—supporting our position that the alleged incident could not have happened as described.

    Why and When Construction Robotics Makes Sense

    February 10, 2026 —
    In construction, robotics is often discussed in terms of technology: better AI, more capable machines, and robots on job sites. Recent research suggests that the question is less about whether robots can work and more about when and why they deliver real value. An Aalto University research paper on computer-vision-driven robotic waste sorting offers a valuable lens into this. The researchers use ZenRobotics’ computer-vision-enabled automated system as a case study. The Finnish startup was acquired by Terex, a U.S. company, in 2022. At first glance, waste sorting might seem like a niche application. But it illustrates a broader economic logic that aligns with findings across the broader body of research on construction robotics.
