Scott Centrella and Timothy Moylan recently won a $1,848,000 arbitration award on behalf of a consultant who alleged he was improperly denied a success fee by the Manhattan developer that hired him in connection with efforts to restructure a significant project in distress. The developer argued that the consultant had not earned the fee and that it had no obligation to pay him. After a full evidentiary hearing, the arbitrator found for the consultant, awarding him his entire fee plus interest at 9%.
