Claims & Dispute Resolution

Sometimes, despite the best efforts of all parties, contract challenges can arise on a project. The best strategy is to engage FSG early and use our experience, industry knowledge, and cultivated negotiating skills early, and allow us to navigate your position throughout the process. We provide customized strategies through discreet advice, claims support, and resolution.

When you engage FSG, you have access to our many years of experience and our extensive network of support professionals, industry Experts and construction law firms.

FSG is small enough to provide personalized service but powerful enough to confidently lead your organization through any difficulties that occur.

If you engage FSG for Commercial Management and Contract Administration on your project, we will ensure that you have a joined-up strategy with appropriate correspondence, notifications and representation throughout the scheme, but even if you bring us in after a problem has arisen, we can quickly support your team through the dispute resolution process. 

On most construction projects there are changes, delays, and disruptions. FSG has the experience working with client teams to prepare and progress claims to settlement through forensic analysis and establishment of facts. We will build a robust, fully-supported case that withstands the scrutiny of any resolution process. We strive to achieve a negotiated settlement on any dispute, but when resolution is not achieved this way, we can quickly assemble an accomplished team to support your organization forward through mediation, adjudication, and arbitration. You can rely on FSG to:

• Complete forensic analysis of dispute claims and all accounting and contract documentation
• Design a customized strategy to settlement though negotiation or adjudication and arbitration
• Leverage our network of the industry’s top talent and legal personnel to build a competent team under the leadership of Phil and Darren who will partner with your staff as necessary
• Provide Expert Witnesses and Advisors for arbitration and adjudication
• Lead the claims process, overseeing and collaborating at every step 
• Auditing and advising on all correspondence, and drafting all return communications
• Preparation of documents of referral or response
• Manage timely actions and responses to ensure deadlines are met and resolution is not protracted
• Remain engaged until a satisfactory settlement is achieved

We have the experience to handle contract, commercial, technical, and time-related issues to achieve resolution. We have the flexibility to step in quickly, partner with your existing staff,  resolve swiftly, and withdraw when resolution occurs so you can mitigate the time and financial costs associated with conflict and dispute.  You can rely on FSG to guide you through the process from the start of our engagement to the achievement of the final settlement, knowing that the most efficient outcome has been attained.

Claims and disputes commonly arise throughout the project life-cycle. Effective solutions, mitigated resource and financial costs, and swift resolution is the ultimate goal.
