Substantially participated in representing Transcoastal in UNCITRAL arbitration against Chevron Global Technology Services, the operator of an oil and gas consortium owning a field in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. Transcoastal contracted to build a gas compression platform, two wellhead platforms, miscellaneous bridges, a vent boom, and tripods. During the performance of the contracts and thereafter, a number of disputes arose between the parties concerning alleged billing irregularities, the proper final contract prices paid by Chevron, and warranty issues. In the expedited arbitration, Chevron brought in excess of $27 million in claims against Transcoastal. The case settled favorably for Transcoastal for a confidential amount during the second week of the arbitration proceedings.
