Represented a pipeline construction contractor, Henkels & McCoy, in connection with the defense of a $90 million claim brought against it by the owners of the Rockies Express Pipeline.  The pipeline segment Henkels & McCoy had constructed suffered a line rupture and a significant, corresponding line shut-down.  Henkels & McCoy denied liability and asserted a counterclaim against Rockies Express Pipeline for unpaid work.  After taking several depositions and conducting an early mediation, the case settled favorably and confidentially.
