Dispute Resolution
Commercially focused and co-ordinated contractual, quantum, forensic delay and expert services from a single business from crystallisation of the dispute to the enforcement of the outcome.
Our offer is a unique, complete global dispute resolution service from a single business. Our claims specialists, forensic planners, document managers and visualisers work with our lawyers from Systech Law under a single point of responsibility to provide a fully co-ordinated and seamless service from the outset of a dispute to its conclusion, avoiding the abortive work that can arise when using multi-party advisors.
We resolve disputes through negotiation, adjudication, mediation, expert determination, dispute boards, arbitration and litigation. All tribunal representation benefits from our global experience combined with our specific knowledge of the region where the dispute has arisen or is being prosecuted.
We also advise clients at the outset of a project on strategies to avoid disputes.
Disputes are often complex and we are able to use our in-house visualisations service to demonstrate the main issues using animations, video and graphics to aid communication with the key decision makers.
