Represented Doosan Heavy, a Changwon-based construction company, in defending claims brought by ExxonMobil with respect to allegedly defective welding on 6 reactors to be used in hydro-desulfurization projects for ExxonMobil’s refineries in Baytown, Texas, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The case also involved cross-claims asserted against Doosan by Fluor Daniel, the general contractor on the projects. After obtaining a partial summary judgment in favor of Doosan on the tort claims, and after uncovering defenses to large portions of the damages claims, the case settled favorably.
