Numerous subcontractors initiated litigation against the firm’s general contractor client and the project owner to collect subcontract balances. The firm’s client asserted the pass through claims for unpaid contract balance and for additional overhead to build the project, which was completed over one year behind schedule. The project owner countered with a delay claim and other claims. Through a series of negotiations, settlement conferences, and mediation just prior to a jury trial, the firm’s client was paid on its claim for additional compensation, and received full indemnity from the owner for all subcontractor suits.
