Construction Litigation
Introduction
Structural litigation, mainly cases involving high-profile real estate projects, demands meticulous analysis of technical reports, complex contract details, and expert testimonies. DecoverAI, an advanced AI-powered eDiscovery platform, is poised to revolutionize how attorneys approach these cases by offering powerful data extraction, strategic insight generation, and streamlined workflows. This white paper presents the Millennium Tower case and explores how DecoverAI could enhance legal strategies in similar litigation.
Note: DecoverAI did not conduct this Use Case, and instead is an analysis of how DecoverAI would approach the case.
Background Of The Case
The litigation involves the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) and the Millennium Tower Association (MTA) suing Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc., citing faulty geotechnical work on the Millennium Tower, a luxury condominium in San Francisco. The building has experienced significant settlement and tilt issues, with allegations centered on Treadwell & Rollo's (T&R) flawed geotechnical recommendations. Langan acquired T&R's assets in 2013 and now faces successor liability claims under theories of de facto merger and mere continuation despite arguing that the purchase excluded prior project liabilities.
