The California State Teachers’ Retirement System, represented by Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, sued general contractor DPR Construction and related businesses, subcontractors and sureties for allegedly failing to complete a $300 million planned headquarters campus expansion in West Sacramento, California.
Pillsbury attorneys Clark Thiel, Marc Coats and Natalie Truong filed the suit on behalf of CalSTRS in the California Superior Court for Sacramento County on July 1. The complaint accused DPR of breaching its construction contract with CalSTRS, failing to maintain proper licensure, retaining unlicensed subcontractors and submitting false payment applications. Counsel has not yet appeared for the defendants.
