Construction Claims
Resolving Complex Disputes with Precision and Practicality
Construction projects are fertile ground for disputes—delays, variations, unforeseen conditions, and disrupted performance often lead to claims. Whether you’re pursuing or defending a claim, success lies in strategic presentation, procedural compliance, and a deep understanding of the contract and construction context. Mian Sheraz Javaid (MSJ) offers targeted legal support in handling construction claims across diverse sectors and jurisdictions.
Our Approach
MSJ combines legal clarity with engineering-informed insight to deliver results-oriented claim strategies. Every claim is reviewed not only for its legal merit but for its technical credibility, evidentiary support, and procedural posture. We work closely with clients from the earliest signs of dispute through to resolution—ensuring notices are served, entitlements are preserved, and timelines are met.
Insight
Many construction claims fail not because they lack merit—but because they miss deadlines, ignore contractual mechanisms, or lack supporting records. MSJ’s dual expertise allows him to identify risks and opportunities others often overlook, framing claims in ways that align with industry expectations, contractual realities, and tribunal scrutiny.
Why It Matters
- Procedural Compliance is Critical: Missed notice periods or improper documentation can nullify even the strongest claims.
- Delay Claims Require Technical Depth: Proving causation, critical path impact, and time entitlement needs more than legal theory—it demands engineering fluency.
- Effective Claims Save Relationships: Clear, well-reasoned claims reduce friction and create space for negotiation or ADR.
- Defensible Records Deter Escalation: Strong documentation and clear entitlement discourage frivolous counterclaims or challenges.
- Well-structured construction claims can shift leverage, unlock payment, and prevent escalation. Poorly managed ones can do the opposite. We help you get it right from day one.
