Acting for contractors and developers including
Three points where a project needs us.
Engineers, contract specialists and advocates on the same file — so the technical case and the legal case are built together.
Before the dispute
Contract administration
Obligations and risk, correspondence, and the contractual notices that decide whether a claim survives later.
How we support live projectsWhen time and cost move
Delay, quantum and claims
Programme impact and cause-and-effect mapping, extension of time, prolongation, variations and price adjustment — quantified from the record.
How a claim is builtWhen it goes to a forum
Full arbitration support
Amicable settlement and dispute boards through to full arbitration — notice and impact analysis, claim drafting, defences and rejoinders, with delay expert, quantum expert and expert witness evidence.
How we appear
$1.5 billion
in dispute value managed, across more than two hundred matters, under FIDIC, PPMO, EPC and ICB — with an average success rate of 60 to 70 per cent.
The success rate reflects the consistency of the work rather than a promise of outcome. Not every case goes as expected, and some outcomes sit beyond any consultant's control.
Four divisions, one file.
Claims, delay and quantum, legal, and administration — led by engineers who have been on site and advocates who have been in the hearing.
