Multi-lawsuit Dismissal of Claims Against Construction Manager Client

BMM client, a major Construction Manager, was improperly named as a defendant under the Labor Law in two separate lawsuits filed in the Supreme Courts of Queens County and Kings County. After several weeks of negotiating a discontinuance with plaintiffs’ counsels, BMM filed motions for summary judgment before any discovery had been exchanged in an effort to save time and money. Mr. Joyce and Mr. Kaushik worked with the client to prepare affidavits to support our motions and, upon receipt of our motions, the plaintiff and co-defendants in both cases agreed to dismiss their claims and cross-claims.

In this case, taking an early and aggressive approach resulted in the files being closed in a matter of months rather than incurring the costs and time of protracted litigation.
