We are pleased to share another significant victory for our firm in a construction arbitration involving claims of breach of contract and counter-allegations of liability.

The matter was successfully handled by our Partner, Nancy Karanu, who represented the Claimant — a construction sector client — in a dispute arising from alleged breaches of a commercial construction contract. The Respondent not only contested the claim but also filed a substantial counterclaim, seeking to impose penalties for alleged delays and non-performance.

The arbitration proceedings involved detailed technical evidence, with professionals and experts from the construction industry offering insight into performance standards, project timelines, and contractual obligations.

Following a vigorous hearing, the Arbitrator:

• Dismissed the Respondent’s counterclaim in its entirety, and
• Entered judgment in favour of our client, awarding the principal claim.

This outcome underscores our firm’s strength in handling complex construction disputes, and the importance of combining legal expertise with industry-specific technical knowledge to secure favorable outcomes in arbitration. Congratulations to the team for her strategic handling of the matter and outstanding representation.
