An asbestos claim was filed against the firm’s general contractor client by a former employee of a public school district, whom the general contractor performed modernization work for in the 1990s. Following an aggressive investigation into the project, and after confronting the plaintiff with conclusive evidence that the client performed no asbestos related work, the firm was able to obtain a pre-answer dismissal of the plaintiff’s complaint with no payment by the firm’s client.
