Our in-depth knowledge of energy industry – in Singapore and internationally – enables us to skillfully support your practice through expert witness litigation.
We work closely with our Legal partners on complex projects to define what role an expert witness needs to play. The greater the understanding of the initial assessment of the case (i.e. before an expert witness is appointed), the greater the chance of success.
You can be confident our expert witness will have the expert knowledge within the appropriate field or discipline. Each witness is handpicked to ensure no connections, directly or indirectly with any contractor, supplier, manufacturer. We provide independent expert witness assessments and reporting.

- Dispute resolution
- Schedule/Milestone/Liquid Damages (LDs)
- Liability and Negligence

Our work spans areas such as contract negotiations and development, delay, warranty and operational performance. This eliminates risks to quality, integrity, schedule delays and potential for carryover or warranty defects. In addition, we consult on provisional and final acceptance issues specific to commissioning and start-up, as well as continued operations.

Risk Reduction Strategies
Having been engaged on many large-scale projects in Asia, our experts understand complex technical issues and a vast knowledge of commissioning, completions and acceptance.
In these hugely challenging economic times where termination of projects before contracts have been fully performed has become common place. Abandoning projects before completion can generate huge losses for both parties financially, in business-critical relationships, and in time spent developing the project.
We have witnessed first-hand how project execution and management determine the successes and failures of a project. Being independent experts, we quickly assess what has happened and recommend the actions you need to mitigate and protect your client’s interests.
