OC Expert Services Brochure

Expert Witness & Expert Advisory Services We possess particular expertise in the identification, assessment and presentation of quantum and delay entitlements that arise on engineering and construction projects and are regularly appointed to act in an expert capacity (expert witness or expert advisory) on such matters. The services we provide will usually entail some or all of the following:

• Providing impartial and objective opinion and advice to our client and legal team • Preparing expert reports

• Attending ‘without prejudice’ meetings • Preparing joint statements • Presenting expert evidence to the tribunal

We can provide such services whether the tribunal is arbitration, adjudication or the courts. We are professionally qualified to act as Expert Witnesses and are fully up to date with current practice and the law relating to the provision of expert evidence.

Advocacy Services/Party Representative The team at OC Expert Services has an excellent record in assisting its clients to achieve successful outcomes on a broad range of disputes in terms of project type, size, contract and the amount in dispute. We are highly experienced in representing parties in adjudication. This service is usually carried out in conjunction with our clients’ appointed legal teams in order to minimise costs and to maximise team strength across the technical and legal aspects of each case. We are fully up to date and conversant with the ever-evolving case law concerning adjudication and payment legislation in the UK and other jurisdictions. We will also react at short notice to assist our clients if they are ‘ambushed’ by the sudden commencement of adjudication proceedings.
