Forensic Commercial Support

Construction and other large operational contracts are fraught with the risk of major cost overruns, contract disputes and fraud. With numerous parties involved and multiple tiers of suppliers and contracts, major projects carry an inherent variety of risks at each stage of the operation.

We support clients in the anticipation of commercial challenges, as well in the mitigation and resolution of them.  Our deep sector knowledge combined with our forensic audit know-how means when contractual or commercial problems arise we quickly identify and clearly quantify the true impact and root cause.

It goes without saying, that the earlier we are involved in a commercial recovery strategy or dispute, the greater the benefit.  However, even at the later end of a project significant benefits can usually be achieved. Our pragmatic, analytical approach will ensure you understand the financial implications and optimise your commercial position by pinpointing those areas of the contract where opportunities exist.

We are used to working with in-house legal departments and major legal practices to assist with the resolution of disputes and are regularly used for both pre-dispute and formal dispute situations.
