Bell Nunnally partners Saba F. Syed and Perrin B. Fourmy, along with Senior Associate Troy “T.J.” Hales and Associate Catherine B. Baldo, recently secured a final arbitration award of more than $3.16 million for our client, a solar energy construction contractor.
The plaintiff, an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, pursued legal action for breach of contract and performance bond claims against our client, seeking more than $17 million in damages. However, the Bell Nunnally team asserted its own vigorous defenses and counterclaims. Bell Nunnally defeated numerous damage claims at arbitration. This included completely invalidating an $11.4 million claim for liquidated damages as an unenforceable penalty. Despite being sued as the defendant, our client paid zero dollars in damages to the EPC contractor, and instead recovered over $3.16 million following the final arbitration award.
