Macdonald Devin Shareholder, Greg Ziegler, successfully defended claims against mechanical engineer in multi-party, complex suit involving professional sports stadium, resulting in favorable settlement for engineer and architectural firm for an amount less than 25% of the original settlement demand. Aggressive motion and expert practice by Macdonald Devin attorneys established defenses that reduced the design team's liability exposure.
Proactive preparation of an alternative repair plan by Macdonald Devin was presented to the owner's counsel and persuaded the owner to drastically change the original repair plan and reduce the repair costs by 75% which, in turn, fostered reasonable settlement of the case.
