Dispute Resolution

We keep matters commercial for as long as possible then, if needed, we support formal resolution with evidence-led clarity.

Disputes rarely start as disputes, they start as unmanaged change, unclear records, and misaligned expectations. We intervene early to clarify entitlement and options, and we support negotiated resolution. Where proceedings are unavoidable, we assist with robust quantum and strategy, including expert witness support.

We are committed to assisting our clients achieving a quick and amicable resolution of such matters before they become a formal and adversarial dispute, in so doing reducing costs and speed of resolution and keeping brand reputation intact. We endeavour to achieve our Client’s objectives insofar as may be possible, whether we are instructed by an Employer, Main Contractor or Subcontractor.

We are committed to support their clients in avoiding conflict and facilitating early resolution to potential disputes. We act as enablers between contracting through the use of early intervention techniques to support the  quick  and effective resolution of disagreements before they escalate into formal dispute and thus reduce the financial and reputational costs often associated with traditional forms of dispute resolution.

It is often inevitable that on complex construction contracts that claims arise for additional time and money and disputes arise from the inability to reach a swift conclusion. We are available to offer strategic advice to support and manage contentious issues, to provide the best possible outcome on a negotiated settlement basis.
