Claims Management

Acuity's claims specialists combine forensic rigour with deep commercial experience to build, defend, and resolve claims on Australia's most complex projects. We work for principals, contractors, subcontractors, and their legal advisors, and bring the same discipline whether the objective is recovery, defence, or early settlement.

Claim Preparation and Defence

A well-prepared claim tells a clear story, anchored in the contract and supported by contemporaneous evidence. We build and defend claims across:

Extensions of time, prolongation, and acceleration
Disruption and loss of productivity
Variations and change
Breach, termination, and final account

Our consultants work the contract and the records together. Pairing entitlement analysis with the narrative and evidence needed to make the claim land.

Forensic Delay and Quantum Analysis

Delay analysis and quantum are where many claims succeed or fail. We apply the methodologies recognised by courts, tribunals, and international industry bodies including SCL, RICS, and CIArb — selecting the right approach for the facts, the records available, and the forum.

Our quantum specialists assess prolongation, disruption, and direct cost with the rigour required to withstand expert and tribunal scrutiny.

Dispute Strategy and Resolution

The right strategy often avoids a hearing altogether. We provide:

Dispute strategy and negotiation support
Mediation, expert determination, adjudication, and arbitration support
Independent and RICS-accredited expert witness services
Early case assessment and settlement strategy
