Forensic Analysis, Claims, & Expert Testimony

Uncover the facts, quantify impact, and support resolution

Fast-tracked data center and power projects are prone to delay, disruption, and disputes. Ankura combines forensic scheduling, quantum analysis, and expert testimony to help clients understand what occurred, allocate responsibility, quantify damages, and support resolution.

Offerings

Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis

We reconstruct project timelines using CPM-based methods to distinguish critical from non-critical delays, identify root causes, and establish a clear, defensible basis for negotiations or dispute resolution.

Concurrent Delay & Disruption

We assess overlapping delay events across owners, EPCs, utilities, and vendors to distinguish responsibility and clarify entitlement to time extensions and cost recovery.

Data Center-Specific Delay Drivers

We analyze dependencies across grid upgrades, on-site generation, OFCI equipment, data hall fit-out, and commissioning activities to identify interface risks and strengthen defensible positions around power, sequencing, and delivery performance.

Builders Risk & Delay-in-Startup Claims

We support insureds, brokers, and insurers on builders-risk and DSU claims by linking forensic schedule findings to financial impacts, helping ensure claims are well-supported, defensible, and positioned for efficient resolution.

Cost/Quantum & Damages Analysis

We quantify the financial impact of delay, disruption, acceleration, scope changes, and termination to establish a clear, defensible basis for recovery in settlement, arbitration, or litigation.

Entitlement & Claims Preparation

We translate scheduling analysis into contract-based entitlement and time extension calculations, supporting the preparation and rebuttal of claims with positions aligned to contract terms and legal strategy.

Expert Reports & Testimony

We prepare expert reports and provide testimony across court, arbitration, and regulatory forums, integrating schedule, quantum, technical, and commercial analyses to present clear, defensible opinions on liability, causation, and damages.

Negotiation, Mediation, & Settlement Support

We use forensic findings and damages analysis to support structured negotiations and mediation, helping clients resolve disputes efficiently while preserving key relationships.

The Ankura Difference

We combine deep technical, scheduling, and financial expertise to deliver clear, defensible perspectives in high-stakes disputes. With specific experience across data center delivery challenges, we integrate complex analyses into cohesive narratives that withstand scrutiny, helping clients quantify impact, allocate responsibility, and resolve disputes efficiently across litigation, arbitration, and negotiated settlements.
