Spring’s team possesses a wealth of experience in resolving disputes and difficult accounts, both in a hands-on capacity and from senior management positions. We believe that entitlement to and claims for additional payments need not necessarily lead to confrontation or formal disputes. Our aim is to maintain our clients’ reputation whilst obtaining the best possible outcome, in a cost and time efficient manner. In most circumstances this will mean formulating and presenting a case or claim to the other party in a clear and persuasive format for the purpose of negotiating an appropriate settlement.
Initial Assessment
Before you embark upon a course of action, whether you are in receipt of a claim or pursuing your own entitlement, an independent review of the various merits of your case can be beneficial. From the outset we will provide a straightforward and honest appraisal of the case as we see it, in order to help you to make the right decisions for your business.
Contractual Claims
In the course of defending, pursuing and managing claims we are practiced in dealing with a range of issues, such as:
- Delays and Extensions of Time
- Disruption, Loss and Expense
- Cause and Effect schedules
- Set Off and Counter Claims
- Claims for Damages
- Variation evaluation
- Contract Terms and Conditions
- Record keeping and Notices
Our understanding of these matters, together with our extensive major contracting experience adds real value to the process for our clients.
Operational Management
Claims and disputes often arise in a progressive manner, with early warning signs of what may
develop. Our experience in this area allows us to assist clients in the formulation of systems, resources and appropriate strategies to manage the situation and ensure their position is maximised and protected.
Formal proceedings
In some situations the circumstances or personalities involved may make formal proceedings unavoidable. In these cases we apply our extensive experience in Adjudication, Arbitration, Litigation and Mediation. Whether defending or pursuing a claim, we identify the right approach for you, before applying the skills and commitment to help make the best of your case.
