NO PAY DIRT

Partners Wayne Gordon and James Bertsch obtained a dismissal of a dirt subcontractor in a large dollar construction defect arbitration proceeding. Gordon and Bertsch, after all discovery had been completed, including all designated experts, filed a Motion for Summary Judgment and a Motion to Exclude Certain Expert Testimony, challenging the reliability of certain expert opinions.  The Touchstone partners were successful in convincing the general contractor to voluntarily dismiss its joinder of the dirt subcontractor shortly before the arbitration was to begin.  Gordon and Bertsch have successfully handled numerous large dollar construction defect claims, both in arbitration proceedings and suits, and have represented the interests of owners and developers, design professionals, general contractors, and subcontractors in these disputes.
