General Contractor Vindicated After Structural Steel Supplier Found Liable

Represented the general contractor on the San Diego Naval Hospital project in connection with a complex lawsuit brought by two subcontractors against the structural steel supplier, our client and various sureties in Federal Court in San Diego. The claims included claims of mismanagement, compensable delays and changes. After two years of extensive discovery, we were able on motion for partial summary judgment to obtain the dismissal of a multi-million dollar claim against our client. Then, after a three-month jury trial, the structural steel supplier was found liable to the plaintiffs for $3 million and our client was vindicated. We argued the appeal in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and prevailed in that court as well.
