Experience

• Represented a building materials manufacturer in multi-party construction litigation involving eight-figure damages to a structure. The plaintiff alleged the products manufactured by our client were defective in their design and, because of that, the plaintiff’s building had suffered serious structural damages. Our position was that there was no defect in the design of our client’s product, which allowed for various forms of use within the industry, and the building’s structural integrity had been compromised due to the failures of other materials utilized in the construction process and/or improper use and maintenance by the plaintiff.  Our client paid a proportionately nominal amount to obtain a dismissal of all claims against it.

• Represented 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.
