Dilworth Paxson Facilitates Kimmel Center Settlement

J. Bradford McIlvain of Dilworth Paxson and counsel for the Kimmel Center, and Richard J. Davies of Powell, Trachtman, counsel for Rafael Viñoly Architects commented on the settlement that "neither party admits liability or fault, the Kimmel Center recognizes that the Viñoly-designed and delivered Kimmel Center is a stunning, state-of-the-art concert hall that attracts world-class artists. It is one of the most beautiful and unique buildings of its kind in the world, a world-class performing arts center, a wonderful civic space, and an economic engine for the entire area. As one of the best facilities of its kind anywhere, it has achieved its goal of becoming a cultural center for all tastes."

The Kimmel Center had filed suit in November, citing "deficient and defective design work," as well as delays that added millions to the construction costs.
