Nora Kharouba

Expert guidance through a complex construction dispute

Our mid-sized development firm engaged Nora Kharouba at Fasken to navigate a challenging contractual dispute with a major subcontractor that threatened to derail a significant project in Downtown LA. From our initial consultation, it was clear that Nora’s deep, specialized expertise in Construction Law was exactly what we needed. Her ability to dissect the complex layers of our contract and the applicable California codes was impressive. We particularly valued her strategic approach; she didn’t just react to the other side’s claims but built a proactive case that protected our interests and kept the project timeline in mind. Her recent recognition in the field for Construction Law was evident in her confident handling of the mediation, which resulted in a favorable settlement without the need for protracted litigation. While her billing is commensurate with her high level of skill and the firm’s reputation, and communication response times could occasionally be a day slower than ideal during non-critical phases, the overall value and result were outstanding. Nora is a formidable advocate who understands the business realities behind the legal issues. I would confidently recommend her to any company facing complex construction or commercial litigation matters in the Los Angeles area.
