Tribunal Awards $300 Million in Energy Construction Dispute

Tribunal Awards $300 Million in Energy Construction Dispute

How do you win a cost claim when the counterclaim is nearly three times larger?

A privately owned power company in Latin America engaged in a power plant project terminated its Asia-based engineering and construction contractor after alleged contract breaches. When the power company sought to recoup $308 million in costs through international arbitration, the contractor countersued for $800 million in damages.

Counsel appointed FTI Consulting’s construction damages experts to review the claims and counterclaims and provide expert testimony in support of arbitration.
