In a decade with him, working cases around the world, I have seen he is as bright as they come. He is a courteous, decent human being – not always the trait of lawyers.”

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“Karl and his team have been instrumental in successfully defending our company against claims manufactured to avoid paying NGC for its work. Karl and his team provide great advice on the ‘front end,’ helping NGC ensure contracts are well negotiated to prevent later claims and disputes, and to facilitate success in the event one arises. Karl and his team also provide strategic guidance and representation regarding subcontractor defaults, and valuable tools NGC can use to improve its subcontractor selection and management to minimize future issues. MWB&J is a valuable part of our Colorado project team to ensure we are taking the right steps to set our projects up for success. If a dispute arises, we know Karl and his team will help us through it, whatever that may take.”
