Support a proceeding →The full lifecycle. One standard of evidence.
Each line reads "instruct us when…" — if one describes your week, we should talk.

Asked by clients, counsel and tribunals.
What does a quantum expert do in construction arbitration?
A quantum expert provides an independent opinion on the value of work, loss and damage. The duty is owed to the tribunal — not the instructing party — and every figure must trace to source records and survive cross-examination.
How is an extension of time (EOT) claim proven under FIDIC contracts?
Through timely notice under Sub-Clause 20.1, a forensic delay analysis linking employer-risk events to the critical path, and contemporaneous records demonstrating cause and effect.
Which arbitration forums does HKF support?
Proceedings under ICC, SCCA, DIAC and LCIA rules — expert reports, quantum and delay evidence, and full tribunal support, across the GCC and internationally.
