Project Management Expertise

Digital Forensics

A project management expert witness helps you understand why a project failed, identify who was responsible, and analyse the impact. An independent expert provides evidence-based opinions in disputes involving project delays, poor planning, cost overruns, or contract performance. 

Masin’s experts combine practical experience with deep dispute expertise. We review project schedules, contracts, project controls, correspondence, and progress records to build a clear timeline of events.

Why Project Management Expertise Matters

A project outcome alone does not establish responsibility. A delay, cost increase, or missed milestone must be assessed against the circumstances, contractual requirements, project plans, and information available at the time. 

Our specialists examine: 

• Project planning and execution strategies 
• Baseline and updated schedules 
• Critical activities and project milestones 
• Contract administration and governance 
• Resource allocation and productivity
• Risk exposure and project contingencies
• Communication between project stakeholders 
• Management decisions and their consequences 
• Progress monitoring and performance reporting 

 This approach helps distinguish between unavoidable project events and problems that may have resulted from inadequate planning, coordination, controls, or decision-making.   

What We Do

Our experts assess issues such as: 

• Contracts, amendments, and project obligations 
• Progress reports and performance data 
• Meeting minutes and project correspondence 
• Change orders, variations, and scope changes 
• Risk registers, responses, and mitigation measures 
• Project controls, reporting systems, and performance records       

Our multidisciplinary approach connects project management findings with commercial, technical, scheduling, and financial considerations to provide a clear and consistent opinion.

How We Do It

1. Define the Assignment

We identify the key issues, questions, contractual requirements, and scope of the dispute. A conflict check is completed to ensure independence and impartiality. 

2. Review the Evidence

We examine contracts, schedules, progress reports, correspondence, meeting records, changes, risk registers, and other relevant documents to establish the project timeline. 

3. Analyse Project Performance

We assess planning, scheduling, project controls, resources, risk management, scope changes, and decision-making against the available evidence and applicable standards. 

4. Identify Causes and Impacts

We determine what caused delays, cost increases, or other project issues and assess how management decisions and project events affected the overall outcome. 

5. Prepare the Expert Report

We present our methodology, evidence, analysis, findings, and conclusions in a clear and structured report suitable for courts, tribunals, arbitration, and other proceedings. 

6. Provide Expert Support

Our experts support expert meetings, joint statements, hearings, arbitration, adjudication, and court proceedings, providing clear and impartial explanations of complex project issues.

Last week, we had the pleasure of bringing together members of the arbitration and disputes community for an evening of insightful discussions, meaningful connections, and exceptional whisky.

Hosted by Sachin Kerur, CEO of MASIN, alongside whisky expert Matthew Fergusson-Stewart, the event explored the fascinating parallels between the art of whisky-making and the practice of arbitration – where patience, precision, evidence, and expertise are essential ingredients for success.

Set against an intimate backdrop, the evening provided an opportunity for practitioners, counsel, experts, and industry leaders to exchange perspectives, strengthen relationships, and engage in thought-provoking conversations beyond the formal conference setting.

A sincere thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making the evening such a memorable occasion. We look forward to continuing these conversations and welcoming you to future MASIN events around the world.
