Even the best companies can find themselves in dispute with their suppliers, contractor and clients. Disputes and resulting claims can be caused by accidents, negligence or Acts of God. Understanding and working through what went wrong, the cost of correcting the damage, consequential losses and identifying who is responsible is a critical part of conflict resolution. DWA is capable of undertaking investigations with a view to advising on the causes of disputes, accidents and other failures. It has entered into an agreement with Hambleton Risk Management to enhance this capability.

Hambleton and DWA believe prevention is better than cure. They have developed a range of inspection and advisory services that identify physical, regulatory and commercial risks. Their experts can then assess the potential impact of those risks. DWA and Hambleton also develop prevention and mitigation measures for the risks they identify, always seeking to minimize their clients' exposure.

Hambleton and DWA experts have investigated disputes and accidents all over the world. Their experts have been called to give evidence as Expert Witnesses in law courts and arbitrations in China, United Kingdom, Singapore, the United States and in many other jurisdictions.
