Christopher, over the last 10 years has developed his tier one contractor background and project planning experience to specialise in the filed of forensic planning and delay analysis, assisting clients in the preparation and defence of extension of time and delay claims using various recognised delay analysis techniques of the purpose of adjudication and arbitration in the UK and overseas.
