School Facility Claim, Texas

A $20 million claim arising out of a school construction project, with trial days away. LLG was brought in at the eleventh hour to take the file over from prior counsel.

We assessed exposure immediately, identified what could still be moved in the time available, and negotiated rather than walking into trial on someone else's preparation.

Resolved for under ten percent of the demand, in the days before trial.

Workplace Fatality, Excess Carrier Retention, Texas

An excess carrier brought LLG in a month before trial to take over the defense of a workplace fatality claim.

We pressed the subcontractor to fund a seven-figure settlement while working the primary toward resolution of its own exposure, rather than defending the tower from the top down.

Resolved. The excess carrier's savings were in the millions.
