Dispute Resolution
Overview
On even the best managed projects, disputes can arise over the entitlement and quantification of changes that cannot be resolved at the project level. While a negotiated settlement is always preferred, project teams often lack the tools or objectivity to properly assess the impact of disputed changes. Lumen provides independent, industry-aligned assessments to determine causation, entitlement, and quantification of claims.
