We represented a contractor in a million-pound dispute with a lottery-winning client who pulled funding midway through a hotel renovation. The case turned on thousands of receipts under a cost-plus contract. During trial, an unreliable timesheet entry by the contractor’s spouse – our key witness – nearly derailed the claim. We negotiated a settlement in a matter of hours. The result wasn’t just financial recovery, but emotional relief for a client who turned to us in distress and trusted our judgement when it mattered most.
