Delay and Disruption Disputes
- 020 3034 0077
Understand the impact on time, productivity and cost
Late information, changes to the works and interruptions on site can affect a project in different ways. Delay concerns time, while disruption concerns interference with planned working methods or productivity. A project may experience one or both, and the evidence needed to establish a claim will depend on what happened and the contract.
How Mercantile Barristers can assist
Mercantile Barristers advises contractors, subcontractors, developers and employers on delay, disruption, prolongation costs and related loss and expense claims. We assess responsibility, contractual entitlement, notices, project records and the basis on which additional costs are claimed.
We help clients present or challenge claims, identify gaps in the evidence and work with appropriate delay or quantum experts. Our barristers prepare submissions and provide representation in adjudication, arbitration and litigation, alongside advice on negotiation and settlement.
Samuel Okoronkwo combines legal expertise with a background in quantity surveying and construction project management, bringing an understanding of how site events can affect the programme, resources and financial outcome of a project.
