Disputes and Settlements
Contract Negotiation and Formation
In many cases clients suffer for inherent mistakes made in the inception and creation of the contract. Where the contract mixes legal terms and conditions with technical specifications, plans, drawings and concepts, it is not possible to expect lawyers alone to be able to judge whether the contract is acceptable. We can bring to bear our experience in authoring complex contracts and also understanding the pitfalls that may exist in performing to them.
Avoiding and Preparing for Disputes
Experience tells us that while disputes are always a thing to be avoided, you always need to be in a position to launch them when required. The preparation within your project of plans, re-plans, objective evidence, outgoing correspondence, financial records and commercial agreements is essential to make sure that you are prepared for the eventuality of a contractual issue. We can advise you on how to make sure your project is capturing and recording everything it needs, and the quality of the outbound correspondence is where it needs to be.
Disputes
Where disputes are inevitable there is often a significant task in preparing the witness testimony and evidence that matches the legal and contractual argument. In many cases the correct use of the underlying data requires expertise that may be missing that may win your dispute. We have experience of producing "killer" graphs and presentations from underlying data that prove decisive in disputes on their own.
Negotiated Settlements
Negotiated settlements require a complex set of skills that rely on understanding your adversary and how to build a compromised position which is still more favourable to your side. Being able to sway the other party towards your position often requires the correct balancing of advantage and repercussion. We have significant experience in highly complex negotiated settlements.
