It is our strong recommendation that Clients be provided with an honest appraisal of their contractual and commercial position, and the risks associated with recovery of their required entitlement.
We will also provide recommendations on how our Client’s specific claim objectives can be achieved by preparing a schedule of activities, with resources and completion dates to ensure our Client has visibility of their claims progress should they wish to proceed. Lesley Morris Associates recommend that only after the risk & opportunities have been reviewed and the strategy is signed off by our Client should the process commence.
