Insolvency investigations
The insolvency of a key stakeholder or member of the supply-chain can have a devastating impact on the operational and financial success of a project.
The CIG experts fully understand the risk of an insolvency event, and can provide practical and reliable advice - along with effective due-diligence to help avoid an insolvency event, mitigate the impact, and assist with any recovery strategies should such an event arise.

Mediation and Dispute Resolution
CIG has an enviable track record for timely and successful intervention using the full spectrum of dispute resolution procedures and processes.
We have top-level experience in:
- crafting bespoke dispute escalation mechanisms for contracts;
- advising on strategic negotiation during projects;
- early intervention using negotiation and mediation;
- chairing settlement meetings; and,
- being appointed as mediators, adjudicators, arbitrators and as members of dispute resolution panels.
At any point during the lifecycle of projects, we have the blend of skills and experience to alert and advise participants on emerging disputes either jointly or separately. We are equally well placed to assist in strategy and preparation for any dispute resolution procedure, and for participants' attendance at mediations.
