"We were able to agree on a settlement with a contractor after a long ongoing technical and financial dispute regarding works this contractor conducted. We were provided with an independent review of the conducted works and related claimed cost from the contractor. Confronted with this review the contractor refrained from threats with legal actions to claim exaggerated costs that did not reflect the conducted works. This allowed us to find a settlement that reflected a fair compensation for the works conducted. "
