Recover what you are owed. Defend what is claimed against you.

Delay analysis and Extension of Time

Programme-based time-impact analysis under FIDIC, NEC and bespoke forms. Critical-path narrative, time-impact methodology aligned to the contract requirement, and a claim package that holds up when the Engineer or Project Manager pulls it apart.

Variation valuation and quantum

Valuation of variations and change. Final account preparation. Quantum assessment and presentation for adjudication, DAAB and arbitration, prepared alongside your legal team. Where a formal independent expert report is required, we bring in a credentialed expert and build the quantum analysis underneath it. Grounded in contemporaneous records and contract methodology, not retrospective reconstruction.

Claims preparation and defence

Preparation, response and settlement negotiation. Both sides of the table. Contractor-side claim packages structured as quasi-legal submissions. Employer-side defence of incoming claims with a focused commercial counter-position.

DAAB, adjudication, arbitration

Submission preparation and strategic support for standing Dispute Avoidance/Adjudication Boards under FIDIC 2017; adjudication under NEC W1 / W2; and DIAC- and DIFC-seated arbitration. We work alongside your legal team. The legal argument is theirs; the commercial argument is ours.

How it usually works

Disputes engagements scale from a one-off variation review (fixed-fee, one to two weeks) through to multi-month involvement on a substantial claim or arbitration. Some engagements run as live commercial leadership on a project that is heading into formal dispute; others are pure expert support to a legal team that is already engaged.

Every engagement starts with a confidential 30-minute call to scope the work and confirm there is no conflict. We will not act on both sides of the same dispute.
