 ShareholderLitigation Antitrust & Unfair Competition Princeton Sue concentrates her practice in complex commercial litigation and dispute resolution, counseling clients in the pharmaceutical, manufacturing, construction, insurance and healthcare industries, with a particular emphasis on construction and antitrust matters. She has represented owners including pharmaceutical manufacturers, research universities, real estate developers and homeowners in connection with construction delay and defect claims; manufacturers in distributor termination cases; and insurers in breach of contract and breach of statutory duty claims brought by state regulators and agencies. Sue also devotes a substantial part of her practice to representing owners in negotiating and drafting agreements of all types relating to construction projects, including construction management agreements, design-build agreements and agreements with design professionals. She is familiar with the AIA forms of construction contract documents and the forms published by the AGC and the EJCDC and has provided many owner clients with advice concerning modification of form agreements to satisfy the owner’s particular needs. In addition, she has significant experience preparing owner-specific agreements. For example, she recently assisted a regional bank in developing master agreements and project-specific agreements with preferred design services providers and preferred general contractors. She presently represents a pharmaceutical company in connection with a new manufacturing facility with the negotiation and drafting of the Project Specific Agreement with the design professionals, the Construction Management Agreement, the validation services agreement, the design-build agreement for a waste-water pretreatment plant and all of the agreements for owner-supplied equipment. Sue has also handled multiple matters raising claims under state and federal antitrust and unfair competition laws, including claims arising under the Sherman Act, Robinson-Patman Act, Clayton Act and Lanham Act. Since 1997, Sue has served as a mediation neutral in assisting parties in more than 100 matters to resolve disputes outside of the litigation process. She has received certificates from the National Institute for Trial Advocacy and the Center for Mediation in Law and currently serves as a mediator on the roster of mediators for court-annexed mediation in New Jersey. She was named 2005 “ADR Practitioner of the Year” by the New Jersey State Bar Association for her contributions to advance the cause of mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution in New Jersey. Sue was a law clerk to The Honorable Warren W. Eginton, U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut. Education: Bar Admissions: Court Admissions: Selected Publications:
