ExperienceRepresented a commercial HVAC distributor in multi-party construction litigation. The plaintiff alleged that the HVAC units supplied by our client were defective and, because of that, the plaintiff’s HVAC system had failed to function properly from the time it was installed. Our position was that the equipment’s failures were the result of poor overall system design by the architect and/or improper use and maintenance by the plaintiff. The plaintiff made a significant six-figure demand. Our client paid a nominal amount to obtain a dismissal of all claims against it.
