Represented a British wastewater treatment company in a contract rectification case governed under English law

Represented a British wastewater treatment company in a contract rectification case governed under English law. The case on the merits is significant because it involved the application of English contract law. The case also was significant because, after judgment was final and based on a contractual choice-of-law clause, the plaintiff filed an application for attorneys’ fees and costs. The client prevailed on its procedural and substantive arguments that the contract’s English choice-of-law clause could not be interpreted to shift attorneys’ fees.
