“Mr. Greig’s delay analysis report was detailed, thorough and well constructed. Mr. Greig demonstrated at the hearing that he had carefully reviewed the evidence and factual records. Generally, he came across as credible and professional, showing that he had actually conducted an independent analysis before reaching any opinion’.

Jones Day (Dubai 2019)

“In short, David stood up very well to challenges made in relation to his investigation and his report. Attempts to belittle his methodology and the findings on his report did not succeed.”

He handled the cross-examination by Jonathan Bellamy of 39 Essex Chamber with confidence and was capable of articulating findings in a consistent and persuasive manner.”
