Early Stage Project and Dispute Assessment

Sometimes a great concept is not enough – a favourable business environment, and trustworthy and competent project partners are also needed.

Kadhims provides two key services: early stage project advisory (ESPA), and early stage case assessment (ESCA).

On new projects, it is important to negotiate the best clauses (including jurisdictional clauses), to future-proof the contract, and this is where the Early Stage Project Advisory (ESPA) comes in. It is also crucial to build the best team, and put in place an effective project management structure with clear scope of tasks, and reporting lines. Assisted by sector and jurisdictional specialists, these services cover investigation assessments on economic, environmental, social, and political impact. A financially robust business plan is also vital, and Kadhims works with its financial advisory partner, Senogles & Co, to provide Business Stress Testing (BST). Teams may consist of local counsel, transactional lawyers, accountants, and agents having expertise in the jurisdictions and subject matter of the deals in question. Kadhims assists with this. A free initial consultation is provided and the ESPA proposal can then be scoped and priced on a fixed fee basis for certainty.

On projects that are in a conflict situation or headed towards a dispute, Kadhims provides early stage case assessment services (ESCA). These include: assessment of settlement options, assessment of jurisdictional options and legal strategy advice, and finding third party funding or insurance solutions if needed. Kadhims draws on its tried and tested strategic intelligence assets, communications and PR partners. Together with cooperation from clients, who can inform ESCA strategy with financial and fact-specific leverage points, Kadhims can resolve disputes effectively at an early stage and, where advice is followed, this has led to an above 95% success rate. A free initial consultation is provided and the ESCA proposal can then be scoped and priced on a fixed fee basis for your budgeting certainty. The ESCA can also include BST services, provided by Kadhims’ partner, Senogles & Co.
