Case Study
Supporting a Client Through a Complex Grid Delay Dispute
The Challenge
Our client’s offshore wind farm in the North Sea is a technically demanding project, now approaching the end of its construction phase. A significant grid delay triggered a high-value, complex compensation claim involving multiple parties. Navigating the process required detailed technical analysis, a strong grasp of contractual obligations, and coordination across legal advisors, company directors, and joint venture stakeholders to determine how compensation should be assessed, justified, and fairly distributed.
Who Did What
This engagement was delivered by our Special Projects team, providing high-level commercial and technical expertise while continuing to manage the asset through the final stages of construction. We led the coordination around the compensation claim, gathering and validating technical evidence, working with legal teams to test the contractual position, and preparing the client for detailed commercial and legal negotiations. Acting as a central point of contact across all involved parties, we helped align internal stakeholders and maintain momentum through a complex and sensitive process.
Key Takeaways
By staying close to both the technical and commercial detail, we helped our client manage risk, maintain control, and engage confidently with other stakeholders. Our support has been critical in ensuring the claim is well structured, the client’s position is clearly presented, and there is a shared understanding of how compensation will be recovered and distributed. The client is now in a strong position as the claim moves toward resolution.
