Although no project is undertaken with the expectation of a dispute arising it is an unfortunate likelihood that major projects will incur differences of opinion at some point during the lifecycle. The ultimate arbiter of any dispute would be in a court setting which incurs significant cost, loss of goodwill and ultimately could prevent a project reaching a successful outcome. It is in all parties’ interests to identify disputes and resolve these at the earliest opportunity. NCL can provide experts in many fields to acts in a variety of capacities during the dispute process:
- Advisors to either party in a dispute
- Technical experts to give an independent view on differences of opinion relating to design and engineering points
- Assessors to undertake an objective review of work carried out and provide an unbiased opinion
- Independent dispute mediators to assist both parties in reaching a settlement
- Arbitrators to make binding contractual decisions
- Independent committee and panel chairs to give compelling advice to senior decision makers
- Expert witnesses to support legal action
