Facts: Our client, W.S. was reported to the board for contracting with an unlicensed firm conducting engineering practice. It was reported that he allowed unlicensed entities to conduct engineering work for his company and signed off on work not his own.
Outcome: Bertolino LLP submitted a response to the complaint arguing that W.S. was unaware of the unlicensed firm’s status and that any work conducted by the firm was thoroughly reviewed and revised by W.S. prior to him signing off on the designs. After consideration of the evidence, the board dismissed the complaint against W.S. without sanction to his license.
