How we Avoid Disputes

Contract Review Risk Registers

The first step in avoiding disputes is to ensure the contract terms are within your understanding of the agreement and within your parameters for risk, and our Contract Review Risk Register takes you through the process of establishing this before you agree to the terms.

Contract Practice

Correct Contract Practice protects your business financially and shows professionalism.  Contract Practice means performing the requirements of the contract, particularly in respect of timely notification or other actions you may be obligated to undertake.

We specialise in advising on the required contractual procedures and drafting of contractual notices.

True Value Claims for Payment

Producing a professional claim or defence in accordance with the requirements of the contract can provide valuable leverage in the dispute avoidance process. Clarity on the contractual position informs on the likely outcome in the event of a formal dispute process, and gives you the opportunity to make a commercial decision on what might be a good settlement offer in consideration of potential costs of seeking a decision from a tribunal.

We are a claims quantum specialist and can quantify true value claims in respect of any contractual matter including:

• Contract Works & Extra Works.

• Extension of Time.

• Delay & Disruption.

• Breaches of Contract.

• Suspension.

• Termination.

Settlement Agreements

A written settlement agreement gives you peace of mind that the settlement reached in respect of a matter of disagreement, is final to the extent you understood it to be.  

We specialise in negotiated settlement agreements, including the management of the negotiation process on your behalf, and the drafting of suitable terms that reflect your understanding of the settlement agreement.
