$15 million settlement

Acting as lead counsel, our firm achieved an excellent result for a New York statewide class of 600 fire alarm technicians, settling the case in two parts in 2012 and 2015 for a total of $15 million. The case involved Simplex’s refusal to pay the technicians the New York prevailing wage and supplemental benefits they were entitled to while working on state projects, such as state prisons, public schools and municipal buildings. In order to succeed, we were forced to litigate in the New York Court of Appeals and the United States Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
