Experience

Judgment in favor of client for wrongful default termination of government lease of a medical clinic in Las Vegas and award of approximately $18 million.
Liability of accounts receivable lender and officers under Maryland construction trust statute.
In recent years, Eric’s dynamic practice has included the defense, mediation, and global resolution of software and systems integration claims exceeding $100 million arising from the construction and implementation of the high-tech Integrated Project Control System of the “Big Dig” project in Boston.
Eric won a recent arbitration award upholding the client’s default termination of a subcontractor on a large roof replacement project on a Navy base in Charleston, South Carolina, and awarding completion costs and other damages.
Eric successfully obtained a jury verdict on a delay and impact claim arising from the construction of a cable-stay bridge in Mobile, Alabama. Eric helped convince the jury that the project owner impermissibly interfered with the contractor’s means and methods in erecting the bridge and that the contractor was entitled to recover its additional costs of approximately $5 million.
The prosecution and settlement of a several million dollar delay and impact claim, and ultimate resolution, through both discussions and mediation, of numerous subcontractor “pass-through” claims, on a large hotel and historical renovation project in New Orleans.
Mediated resolution of a multi-party case involving the cracking of the client’s fiber cement cladding on several buildings in an office complex in Oaks, Pennsylvania.
Successful mediation of a subcontractor’s delay and impact claim on a state-of-the-art “pilot truss arch” bridge project in Reno, Nevada.
Successfully defeated a local government’s motion for summary judgment based on a contractual no-damages-for-delay clause on a multi-prime construction of a new law enforcement center in North Dakota.
