Expert appraisers provide technical underpinning for disputes in Denmark and abroad.

Law firms, insurance companies, developers or contractors may require specialists who can act as court-appointed experts in disputes handled in Danish or international courts. Our specialists have extensive experience in materials, damage and failure investigations, construction cases, and maritime incidents. 

Case areas and technical scope 

We cover damage and failures, construction cases, maritime incidents and aerodynamic conditions. Work includes material-related issues, defects and fractures, and assessment in relation to relevant technical, legal and economic reference frameworks. The service is part of our expertise area Buildings and infrastructure.

Challenges

When disputes require technical clarification, lack of documented assessment delays decisions and case progress.

Damage and failures require technical clarification 
Damage and failures may involve materials, corrosion, fractures and manufacturing or operational defects. Without expert assessment, it remains unclear how and why the damage occurred and how the case should be interpreted. 

Construction cases depend on reference frameworks 
Construction cases require assessment against technical, legal and economic reference frameworks. Without this, it is difficult to determine whether the work meets the agreed basis. 

Maritime incidents require reconstruction 
Ship collisions and groundings require clarification of events at sea and the connection between cause and effect. Without documentation of manoeuvres, navigation and conditions, it is difficult to establish what took place in a specific sailing area or port. 

Aerodynamic conditions affect structural behaviour 
Wind loads on buildings, bridges and ships may influence incidents. Without investigation, including wind tunnel testing, it is unclear how wind conditions contributed, for example, when mooring lines break.
