Construction claims consultancy

RWPL provides consultancy in the commercial management of construction projects. We offer contractual and claims advice and construction claims consultancy to clients for projects around the world.

We provide advice as to how contracts can be set up and managed to avoid claims. We also offer support in advising how best to deal with claims when they do unavoidably occur. We tailor individual solutions and offer experienced, professional advice on a wide range of issues including:

• Claims avoidance
• Best-practice review and drafting of contract terms and conditions
• Claims management
• Claims drafting
• Claims defence
• Dispute management and resolution
• Commercial settlement strategies and negotiations
• Forensic delay analysis
• Quantum evaluation
• Termination, disruption, Extension of Time (EOT), additional payment and variations-based claims
• Expert witness

Our philosophy is that prevention is better than cure. We take time to understand what our clients’ construction claims objectives are and how we can  meet those expectations. Early involvement allows our expertise to be used to its best advantage and enables us to provide the most appropriate and effective advice. In fact, if we are engaged early enough, it may be that advice is all that’s needed to avoid claims escalating and becoming a costly dispute.

Arbitration

For many of our clients, arbitration is an unfamiliar process. As arbitration advisers, we prepare a client’s case from issuing a notice of arbitration, including advice on the appointment of an arbitrator, preparation of pleadings, discovery of documents and where required act as co-counsel in representing a party before the arbitral tribunal.
