The firm represented the construction manager for three community college construction projects. The owner of the projects claimed the construction manager was responsible for liquidated damages and project close out costs in excess of $1.0 million
Before a lawsuit was filed, the firm worked diligently to explore alternative resolutions to the dispute including a proposal to assist with the closeout of all three projects which the firm showed was the responsibility and obligation of other than its client. Through a series of meetings and exchange of position statements over a span of years, the firm negotiated a mutual release with no payment by its client.
