The firm represented a construction manager who was wrongfully terminated from two school district projects and was owed substantial amounts for work performed. The firm sued the school district and immediately served the district with aggressive discovery, while also pushing for an early mediation. In preparation for mediation, the firm performed a detailed investigation of the facts supporting the construction manager’s case and prepared an effective mediation presentation. At mediation, the firm obtained a favorable settlement that included a retraction of the terminations for cause and significant payment by the district. Following the legally required waiting period for bringing such a claim against a government agency, the litigation was resolved in a matter of months.
Counsel: P. Randolph Finch Jr., Louis J. Blum, and Kelly A. Floyd
