The consequences of disputes for projects within the civil engineering and construction sectors can be immense, leading to severe delays and cost implications.
Our practical, on-site experience means that we know how disputes happen and how best to mitigate them, although we prefer avoidance if possible. Our services therefore, encompass both elements: prevention, ideally but also how to effect early dispute resolution should it occur.
