Our client designs aircraft hangers. When one of their huge projects developed some tiny cracks, a $1.5 million claim swiftly landed on their desk. As the claim proceeded through discovery, we suggested gaining a second opinion from an expert lawyer who knew every inch of Florida state law. This produced a new defence strategy, based around the “consequential damages waiver” policy in their contract. It won the case, repelled two appeals, and cemented a powerful legal precedent in favour of enforcing such waivers. The perfect landing for our client, and good news for every engineer in The Sunshine State.
