Contracts & Claims

This is where we started. Contracts and claims are in our DNA, and that foundation gives us something difficult to replicate: a granular understanding of how contractual and commercial disputes develop, from the seed of the problem to final resolution.

But our approach has fundamentally changed. Where the industry treats claims as an inevitable outcome of construction, we treat them as a failure to be prevented. Our focus starts long before any dispute arises.

At the strategic and feasibility stages, we advise on contract strategy and risk allocation, helping you choose the right delivery model and structure agreements that incentivise collaboration rather than conflict. During procurement, we draft, review, and negotiate contracts with one objective: clarity of obligation, fairness of risk, and mechanisms that work when things change, because they always do.

Through construction, we provide proactive contract administration: tracking obligations, managing early warnings, ensuring compliance, and intervening before positions harden. Intelligent tools monitor contractual risk in real time, automate compliance tracking, and surface early warning indicators that manual processes miss. This is where most projects fail: not because the contract was bad, but because nobody was actively managing it. We are.

When disputes do arise, because on complex projects some are unavoidable, we bring the full weight of our claims expertise: entitlement analysis, quantum assessment, expert reporting, and resolution through negotiation, mediation, adjudication, or arbitration. We act for both owners and contractors, which gives us a perspective that single-side practitioners don't have. We understand the arguments from both positions, and that makes us more effective on either side.
