Most businesses will face a dispute situation at some point – whether it is a dispute with a supplier, a customer, a regulator, or a whole range of related issues. We can assist you throughout the process, whether in an informal forum or in litigation, mediation or arbitration. We help clients at any stage of a dispute, for example, by providing independent advice to those initiating a dispute, by investigating and analyzing evidence related to the dispute, providing expert witness reports or advising on dispute resolution.
Our investigations team is ready to assist clients in the prevention, detection, investigation and remediation of fraud, financial crime and other irregularities including asset misappropriation, bribery and breaches of ethics. Our financial investigations specialists work with our experts in Forensic Technology Solutions to detect fraud, uncover the full extent of losses, analyze evidence obtained and produce reports which can be used as evidence if appropriate. We also assist parties contemplating asset recovery actions.
No construction project is immune to risks such as budget overruns, delays, poor work quality, the unreasonable overstatement of operating expenses, or conflicts with a general contractor or project partner.
Our industry professionals provide advice and assistance in order to mitigate the risks, develop correct procurement and project management strategies, or to manage disputes if they arise. We are adept at understanding and documenting the technical issues that arise in capital project disputes, and at substantiating the associated costs and damages.
Our team includes experts experienced in capital construction, forensics and legal and tax advice. Our partners act as subject-matter experts in construction disputes in international arbitration courts.
