DONNA M. DAVIS Page Two (Woolls & Peer contd) Developed a theory of how contribution toward defense, indemnity and additional insured defense should be calculated, using a detailed spreadsheet-based system to facilitate analysis of the potential defenses to and values of each individua l underlying action in large contribution actions, minimizing the amount clients ultimately paid in settlements. Also, by showing viable defenses to each clai m the spreadsheet system also proved critical in convincing opposing counsel to dismiss large numbers of underlying actions as non-viable. The trial court fai led to comprehend the math and ordered an inequitable 50-50 split for each viabl e underlying action. On appeal, our client prevailed on the issue of how contri bution should be calculated, and in a detailed published opinion the Court agree d 100% with my theory.
