Expert Witness Reports
The Contracts Group provides expert witness reports and specialist advice on construction disputes involving quantum, delay analysis, programming and contract management.
Expert reports can help a court or tribunal understand the technical matters in dispute. We examine the relevant project records, analysis and contractual background, and present our opinions clearly with reference to the matters on which we have been instructed.
Our staff have actively participated in training by The Academy of Experts, which underpins our skills as experts.
