Representation of construction manager in claims arising out of construction of manufacturing facility. Construction manager alleged that owner improperly withheld approximately $950,000 for “deficiencies” which were either nonexistent or grossly exaggerated. There were three major phases of representation. The first phase involved negotiation of release of payment by owner to resolve numerous construction lien claims that had resulted from owner’s withholding of payment. The second phase included a mediation in which the parties negotiated a settlement of the largest component of claimed deficiencies, which resulted in a framework under which corrective work was performed subject to review by parties’ designated experts. The final stage involved arbitration of various issues involving contractor’s claim for early completion bonus and owner’s claim for late completion. After seven days of arbitration, arbitrators rendered award in favor of client, including denial of owner’s late completion claim and award of early completion bonus to client.
