Under New York Lien Law, the filing of a mechanic’s lien by a subcontractor typically prompts the project owner to withhold 110% of the lien amount, disrupting cash flow, and potentially jeopardizing project timelines and completion. Wilson & Chan successfully discharged a willfully exaggerated mid six-figure lien brought against their construction general contractor client. This legal win released the withheld funds, allowing project monies to flow downstream through the contractor and subcontractor chains—safeguarding the project’s progress, timeliness, and financial stability.
