IMPORTANT NEWS REGARDING THE INTEGRATION OF SYSTECH SOLICITORS

Systech Solicitors is an independent legal practice, fully approved and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority ('the SRA'). Systech International and Systech Solicitors enjoy a close working relationship and the Legal Services Act 2007 has introduced an opportunity to bring our practices even closer. In light of this, the Systech International and Systech Solicitors websites have been integrated to reflect this business relationship. Please note that only services provided by Systech Solicitors are regulated by the SRA. To inform you of which areas of the website relate to the solicitors' practice and services provided by it ('a Regulated Area') and which areas do not ('a Non-Regulated Area'), a window blind will appear. This window blind will appear automatically when you move from a Non Regulated Area of the site to a Regulated Area or vice versa.

CLAIMS MANAGEMENT

Systech has a global reputation as a leading claims consultant on major projects and clients can be confident that we have the professionalism and expertise to look after their interests.

We provide clients with an honest appraisal of their contractual and commercial position at the outset of a commission and do not embark on a process until all the risks and benefits have been considered. It is our policy to discuss a client's specific claim objectives with them and then to provide recommendations as to how they can be achieved. As part of that process a schedule of activities with associated resources and completion dates will be prepared to give the client visibility of progress.

Adopting the correct strategy is the mainstay of a successful claim. Systech draws on its wealth of experience to offer strategic guidance that is focused on the provable issues and to prepare documentation that is technically, legally and commercially accurate.

Claims are often complex and we are able to use our visualisations expertise to demonstrate the main issues pictorially to aid communication to key decision makers.
