The firm’s client was the general contractor for the construction of a City of San Diego lifeguard tower. The general contractor contended the project was delayed and disrupted by City’s management of the Project and the project plans. The City claimed liquidated damages of $107,000 and approximately $20,000 in backcharges from the general contractor. The firm represented the contractor in settlement conferences and mediation. As a result of the firm’s efforts, the City released all claims against the contractor for liquidated damages and backcharges and agreed to pay the contractor over $250,000 to resolve the contractor’s claims for additional work and delays.
