The firm represented a concrete and masonry subcontractor in a claim for recovery of its subcontract balance due on a large, privately-funded construction project on which there were multiple claims between the general contractor and various subcontractors. The firm was brought in after conclusion of the subcontractor’s work to record a mechanic’s lien, prepare contract and payment bond claims, and file suit.
Early settlement reached. Multi-party arbitration avoided.
Through negotiation, the firm achieved an early settlement for payment to its client of an amount in excess of its contract balance. Equally important, the client also avoided participation in a multi-party arbitration involving the general contractor and multiple subcontractors.
