- DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION & LEGAL SUPPORT
Resolving Disputes with Construction Intelligence
Construction disputes rarely turn on law alone.
They often depend upon understanding what happened on the project, what the contract required, how the work was measured and valued, what caused the commercial impact, and whether the claimed entitlement is supported by the facts and records.
ANTERHILL brings together construction, contracts, commercial, project management, quantity surveying and construction law to provide informed dispute resolution and claims support.
Led by Antonelli Kurukulaadithya, MSc (Construction Law & Dispute Resolution), BSc (Hons) QS, PMP, MCIArb, MAIQS, CQS, ANTERHILL provides specialist dispute resolution and advisory services in complex construction and infrastructure disputes.
With 20 years of experience across major projects exceeding USD 10.3 billion, Antonelli has worked across Qatar, the UAE, Libya, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, India and Sri Lanka. His professional experience encompasses construction contracts, commercial management, claims, quantum, delay and disruption, and dispute resolution. He has also developed an extensive network of professionals across the construction, engineering, commercial and legal disciplines, enabling access to specialist expertise where required.

The Construction Specialist Behind the Legal Strategy
ANTERHILL does not replace legal counsel.
We complement legal counsel by providing the construction, contractual, commercial and quantum expertise required to analyse complex project disputes.
As Claims Specialists, we can work alongside solicitors and barristers to:
- Analyse the factual background of the project
- Understand the contractual framework
- Review project records and correspondence
- Identify contractual and commercial issues
- Assess contractual entitlement
- Analyse variations and changes
- Evaluate quantum
- Review extension-of-time and prolongation issues
- Prepare claim schedules and supporting calculations
- Test the opposing party’s claim
- Identify weaknesses in the factual and commercial evidence
- Assist lawyers in developing the technical and commercial aspects of their case
- Support mediation, adjudication, arbitration and litigation
- Assist with expert and dispute-related documentation
Our background combines construction law with extensive practical experience in contracts, commercial management and quantity surveying—allowing us to approach disputes from the perspective of someone who understands how projects are actually procured, contracted, constructed, measured, valued and administered.

Experience Across Major International Contract Frameworks

They require someone who understands:
The Contract.

The Commercial Reality.
That is where ANTERHILL’s multidisciplinary capability creates value.
Dispute Practitioners with a Management, Commercial & Legal Foundation in the Industry
Antonelli and the specialists ANTERHILL engages have spent over two decades working directly within construction and infrastructure projects—not solely reviewing disputes after they arise. Our experience includes contract administration, commercial management, procurement, tendering, variations, claims, financial reporting, final accounts and commercial negotiations.
FROM PROJECT EXPERIENCE TO DISPUTE INSIGHT
We understand the project before we analyse the dispute.
That perspective enables ANTERHILL to bring practical construction intelligence to dispute resolution, claims assessment and legal proceedings.
Whether appointed as a Conciliator, Mediator, Adjudicator or Arbitrator, or engaged as a Claims Specialist supporting legal counsel, our role is to bring clarity to complex construction issues and assist in achieving a sound, evidence-based outcome.
