A DISTINCTIVE SPECIALISM
Where legal argument
meets technical evidence.
Compensation disputes arising from petroleum operations require a careful understanding of both the alleged damage and its connection to the operations in question. A persuasive legal position depends on a sound evidential foundation.
Our team assesses technical data and laboratory reports issued by accredited entities to help identify the nature and source of damage. We also advise on contractual liability disputes between oil companies and subcontractors.
AREAS OF DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
Health-related
Claims involving alleged harm from exposure to hazardous substances.
Property
Damage involving agricultural land, roads, buildings and equipment.
Commercial
Business interruption, project disruption and related economic losses.
