Cost Overruns and Wrongful Termination

Shanghai Centre is the first mixed-use project in Shanghai that includes 472 apartments and a 605 room Ritz-Carlton hotel. The dispute resulted in one party seeking recovery of lost fees and an undetermined amount connected to the alleged wrongful termination.

Counsel required the assistance of a forensic accountant to critique the other side’s expert report that alleged a $70 million fraud in the overseeing of the renovations and management of the property. Each allegation was investigated and a response prepared to assist counsel with the action.
