The firm represented a multi-national prime contractor on a telecommunications infrastructure project spanning across multiple states. The firm’s client received claims from its subcontractor during the project in excess of $1,400,000, for what the subcontractor contended were amounts owed for changed scope, delays, and inefficiencies on the project. The firm immediately began investigating the issues of entitlement and quantum concerning the subcontractor’s claims as part of the pre-litigation dispute resolution process. The firm’s investigation revealed significant deficiencies with the subcontractor’s claims. Within a few months of the firm’s engagement, the prime contractor, without litigation, obtained resolution of the subcontractor’s claims for far less than anticipated defense costs.
