Strategy & Management
Lewis Woolcott understands the importance of corporate governance and organisational demands. This demands bespoke, considered strategies that address both these internal needs and those necessary actions to derive successful commercial results. Complex commercial issues require clear communication protocols that adhere to limits of authority, provide governance and appropriate confidentiality, but maintain efficient direction to an agreed delivery schedule. We frequently provide documented briefing advice to record and communicate key aspects of the claim’s status, to suit each client’s specific requirements. Our processes include holistic claim appraisals, to offer interim and progressive commercial prospects’ advice to assist with key decision making. Our appraisals are able to bring about successful resolution of claims and disputes far more quickly than traditional approaches, and at substantially reduced costs.
Commercial Management
Lewis Woolcott offers end to end commercial management throughout all stages of the project life cycle, including:
- Concept & planning
- Procurement and Contract Award
- Project delivery
- Commercial close out
- Legacy matters
Risk Management
Lewis Woolcott excels in risk assessment and risk mitigation techniques. Our expertise utilises in-house risk applications that predict likely commercial outcomes. This is achieved through a combination of algorithmic modelling and the aggregation of the teams’ knowledge through our bespoke interview processes. Our comprehensive risk analysis is provided in easy to understand reports. Lewis Woolcott’s Claim Predict tool evaluates likely claim outcomes for each head of claim or for all claims in the aggregate. This technique is frequently used to verify and improve current commercial strategies or to provide the ‘book-ends’ for negotiations. Our risk analysis refines claim strategies by honing in on the key issues that affect commercial recovery. Through this analysis our clients can optimise commercial resources in areas of claim that are most likely to yield a positive return. Our risk processes have also been used to inform organisations financial appraisals and to determine contingent liabilities and or recognise revenue at specific points in the Financial Year.
Expert Services
Lewis Woolcott offers both testifying (clean) and compromised (dirty) expert services. Our core expertise in delay, disruption and quantum analysis coupled with our in-house legal services provides a unique integrated offering. This approach avoids the need for individual experts’ appointments and their management, traditionally undertaken by external legal practices. Our integrated expert services reduce the cost of managing multiple professional teams, delivering the right results; efficiently, faster and with reduced interface risk. Our approach is highly flexible, whether assigning teams directly to your project or working remotely from our corporate offices. Our goal is the delivery of the most appropriate bespoke service to each individual matter, always working collaboratively with your team.
