Advisory for Frustrated (Pre-dispute) Projects
At Evolution Project Consulting, we provide early-stage advisory support to legal teams and clients facing frustrated or underperforming IT and transformation programmes, long before formal proceedings begin. Not every technology dispute begins in court. Many arise quietly — through delayed milestones, missed deliverables, scope creep, and broken stakeholder relationships.
Our team draws on decades of experience analysing large-scale technology failures across both the public and private sectors. We work with solicitors, in-house counsel, and risk leaders to examine the root causes of project breakdown, evaluate options for resolution, and preserve critical evidence that may later underpin a claim or defence.
Whether you're dealing with an ERP implementation that has stalled, a cloud migration project that’s gone off track, or a supplier relationship in crisis, we bring calm, technical clarity to moments of uncertainty — helping you take decisive, defensible action.
From Technical Symptoms to Legal Strategy
EVO bridges the gap between operational detail and legal consequence. Our consultants review project artefacts, delivery logs, communications, and governance records to identify where obligations have been breached or delivery expectations missed. We map causation against contractual responsibilities, flag potential liabilities, and guide your legal team in shaping the dispute narrative before litigation hardens.
Our early advisory input helps clients to:
- Preserve evidence and communication trails
- Understand key technical and delivery failures
- Assess the viability of claims or defences
- Engage suppliers with leverage and legal foresight
- Avoid escalation through structured renegotiation
We operate discreetly, collaboratively, and always with a view toward litigation readiness — should it become necessary.
