Clausen Miller Prevailed in Complex Construction Arbitration
December 19, 2006
Bill Hacker and Tony Ulm received a favorable decision in a lengthy construction arbitration that took place during the summer in Chicago from June 6th through July 28th before three arbitrators from the American Arbitration Association. At issue were a series of complex construction, engineering, welding, project accounting and auditing questions in connection with the design and erection of a $48 million co-generation facility near Peoria, Illinois.
The arbitration panel awarded nothing to the plaintiff, Raymond Management Services, Inc. on claims in excess of $3 million asserted against our client, William A. Pope Company. Pope was awarded $3,634,714 for its counter-claims against Raymond, which is what CM asked for in closing arguments.
