We advocate dispute avoidance strategies and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to help parties communicate effectively on complex project issues and resolve differences before they escalate. Where amicable resolution is not possible, we can act as ADR practitioners or support clients and their legal teams in securing favourable outcomes through the appropriate dispute resolution process.

Independent quantum, delay, and technical expert services support arbitration and litigation by providing impartial, well-reasoned opinions on complex construction and engineering matters. Services include expert reports, analysis of entitlement, causation, and quantum, and formal testimony before tribunals and courts. Extensive experience as a testifying expert, including cross-examination under oath, ensures robust and credible support throughout the dispute resolution process.

We provide comprehensive support in preparing and defending contractual claims and counterclaims, including detailed narratives, quantum assessment, and forensic delay analysis. Our services cover entitlement, contractual obligations, and evaluation of rights and remedies for extensions of time, disruption, and additional cost claims. This is enhanced by advanced AI-driven data retrieval and analysis, enabling efficient identification and interpretation of key project records to support robust, evidence-based submissions.

Construction and engineering projects are inherently complex and carry significant risk. Unlike controlled factory environments, construction takes place in constantly changing site conditions, influenced by weather, logistics, and heightened safety and organisational demands. We provide specialist contractual and commercial services to support effective risk management, helping clients deliver projects successfully from inception to completion.

Alongside our contractual and commercial services, we support clients in developing and managing robust project programmes using industry-standard scheduling software. A well-prepared baseline programme is essential for monitoring progress and assessing delay and disruption, providing a reliable reference for stakeholders. Contractors are required to produce such programmes, reflecting planned activities and allowances for foreseeable risks.

We provide a range of client training programmes, from introductory through to advanced levels, covering key areas such as commercial management, contract administration and project planning. Training can be delivered through standard seminars for wider audiences or tailored sessions designed to address specific project requirements and contract frameworks. We specialise in the FIDIC Forms of Contract, widely used across the Middle East and internationally.

We now offer an advanced AI-enabled project data retrieval and analysis service, supporting clients in the preparation and substantiation of construction claims through the efficient identification and interpretation of key project records. This capability provides timely, robust evidence to support entitlement, demonstrate cause and effect, and strengthen overall claims strategy, while also assisting in dispute avoidance and resolution. To support this service, we have invested in a secure version of ChatGPT Teams, providing confidentiality and protection for documentation uploaded for analysis.
