Excell has been involved in numerous mock negotiation scenarios and red team reviews for some of the largest corporations in the United States. Excell has also been involved in matters that were both domestic and international and were in the millions of dollars range.
One of Excell’s successful ADR methods included a claim in which three different sets of attorneys assisted and later on what came to be known as the “Omnibus” claim that involved 39 separate, but linked REA’s impacting a $69M Firm Fixed-Price contract that escalated with changes to $370M. The effort resulted in an award to the client that was just short of $100M.
Excell was responsible for the resubmission and re-negotiation of a $10 million cost overrun associated with a defective design problem and the attenuate costs associated with same regarding the Consolidated Space Operational Center.
This single REA resulted in the first “mini-trial” conducted by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. Excell’s client recovered all costs and profits, as well as Excell fees in the matter, and the world of mini-trials was born.
