At MDD we understand the potential difficulties that may be encountered when construction projects go awry.
We are adept in assessing, organizing and analyzing financial document production, identifying key financial records for discovery requests and helping prepare interrogatories.
We are also able to critique opposing damage expert reports, suggest questions on damage measurements for deposition and assess the financial impact of various theoretical scenarios that may affect the project critical path during alternative dispute resolution.
