## Summary

Judith Nissani Contract Management Ltd is an Israeli contract and claims management consultancy for large infrastructure projects. Metro, light rail and PPP projects involve many parties, changing scope and tight programmes. The firm manages the contract as the work happens, from tender to final account, so changes are handled correctly and claims are decided on a solid record.

The team of lawyers and an economist works as an integral part of the client's project management team, on-site or remotely as each project requires, across the whole contract lifecycle: procurement and risk allocation, change, claims and close-out.
