Dispute Avoidance

Our pre-contract services set the foundation for smooth project execution and mitigate potential risks. This includes:

• Contract reviews and expert, independent advice to support your commercial team during early project stages
• Identification of potential risk areas and ambiguous terms before contract execution
• Establishing clear obligations and realistic expectations

If your project is not going to plan, we provide additional support alongside your commercial team to define issues and ensure effective recovery. Our independent reviews identify risks and opportunities related to cost and programme, including:

• Assessing contract documentation to identify the root causes before they escalate into disputes
• Implementing targeted recovery plans with clear mitigation strategies
• Providing ongoing commercial support to ensure effective resolution and delivery

We deliver impartial valuations of completed work at critical project milestones to ensure cost transparency and accuracy, including:

• Interim valuations
• Final account valuations
• Valuations following contract termination

These services establish clear documentation trails, supporting informed decision-making and maintaining stakeholder confidence throughout the project lifecycle.

We deploy experienced professionals to assume project management or contract administration roles on contentious or underperforming projects, including:

• Assessing performance gaps and identifying underlying issues causing delays or failures
• Implementing immediate corrective strategies to restore project momentum
• Providing specialised contract administration support to prevent further complications
