Dispute Avoidance

Potential for conflict and dispute exists in every project. We help clients to understand the contractual relationship between relevant parties and to recognise areas of potential conflict and dispute. We evaluate key contract clauses and help clients develop a self-protection strategy.

More importantly, we help develop strategies to deal with the management of change, including its early identification and the impact of such change upon cost and schedule. We also review existing systems and procedures, which then allows us to design and implement an effective claims avoidance strategy thereby reducing the incidence of end of project claims.

Claims Management

In the event a conflict or dispute does arise, the situation must be dealt with quickly and efficiently to avoid an escalation of the issue. We have the expertise to manage claims, whether in preparation or evaluation, in a cost effective and efficient manner. Claims should be clearly written, logically argued and supported by recorded facts.

We have a wealth of experience in preparing successful claims concisely and effectively. This experience has been gained by preparing and evaluating claims over many years allowing us to quickly reach realistic conclusions and thereafter to identify available options resulting in practical commercial solutions. We provide, at the earliest possible opportunity, objective assessments of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that exist in all claim situations.

As a consequence we are able to help clients effectively assess risk. Commercial settlements to construction claims are generally desirable to all parties and we are committed to helping clients achieve the best possible commercial solution.
