The firm represented a subcontractor seeking recovery of the subcontract balances due for work it performed at two public schools. The subcontractor fully performed its scope of work, but the general contractor failed to pay the subcontractor the entire subcontract amount.
The Firm filed suit for recovery on the subcontractor’s stop payment notice and on the general contractor’s payment bond for the projects at issue.
The firm engaged in significant discovery to all parties to the lawsuit and, after obtaining the responses and analyzing the project documents, was preparing to proceed to trial. Subsequently, the firm negotiated a global settlement on behalf of the subcontractor with the payment bond surety and the subcontractor’s lower-tiers, resulting in a six-figure full recovery for the subcontractor.
