Contract Analysis & Risk Management
Commercial Management
The Analysis, formulation and resolution of contractual claims.
Contractual claims are a fact of today’s UK construction sector.
G Gillis Ltd can help you to better particularise and present claims; and can advise on the most effective route via which to seek redress.
From a practicality and cost perspective, direct negotiation with your client will typically offer you the best outcome. However, this is not always possible, and in such instances a formal third-party dispute resolution process, such as adjudication, may be required.
G Gillis Ltd has extensive knowledge and experience of all aspects of the adjudication process and has successfully managed; whether as the referring or responding party; the resolution of various significant disputes via this process.
