The firm represented a joint venture of two top ENR general engineering clients in a dispute with a cellular concrete subcontractor regarding a grade separation rail project in northern California. The dispute involved pay quantities of work performed, and delay and disruption claims by both sides of the dispute. Based on the firm’s prior experience trying a very similar claim — and rare knowledge of the peculiarities of cellular concrete construction — the firm positioned the case for resolution at early mediation. The case was resolved extremely efficiently on terms very favorable for the firm’s client.
