The firm represented a trade contractor who discovered unanticipated asbestos in the walls and ceilings of school classroom buildings while performing technology infrastructure upgrades pursuant to a contract with a School District. To ensure the safety of the crew, the trade contractor shut down the project and demanded payment for the work performed to date, which the District refused. The firm submitted a claim to the District and successfully negotiated payment to the trade contractor without a termination of the contract and short of filing a lawsuit.
Counsel: P. Randolph Finch Jr., Andrea L. Petray, and Kelly A. Floyd
