Supporting our clients throughout the process of claims resolution.
On even the most well managed projects, disputes arise between the parties to the contract. Driver Group offers worldwide support in claims management and resolution, as well as assisting clients in the assessment of risk and avoidance of disputes. We work closely with legal practices involved in engineering and construction litigation.
