EARLIER IS BETTER

Most disputes start
before the dispute.

An onerous term accepted. A notice missed. An instruction poorly recorded. A variation left to drift. The earlier the commercial position is understood, the more options remain.

EVIDENCE BEFORE ASSERTION

Build the position.
Then make the argument.

The useful question is not simply what each party says. It is what the contract required, what happened, what can be demonstrated and what follows from it.
