DISPUTE RESOLUTION/ EXPERT WITNESS

The best value we can add in this area is advising a strategy to avoid a dispute in the first place. For building projects this strategy will include how to set up the project, the tendering process, a suitable Contract, fair allocation of risk and how the contract is administered.

If you have a dispute we can advise you on the best way forward. Where appropriate we can work with both parties to search for an early resolution before the situation escalates.

If in the end your dispute goes legal we can support your legal team as a building expert.
