Paul Searles, Partner with Haynes & Boone, San Jose, CA, USA For a long time we had been looking for an expert that was able to deal with the complex topics of critical path analysis, loss of productivity and acceleration, an expert that would speak our language, that was familiar with the Mexican public works law and that had extensive technical knowledge on civil works, tunneling works, geology and hydro electric power plants. CAA combined all these requirements and provided excellent support to our company in a recent arbitration involving a large hydroelectric plant in Mexico. Lic. José de Jesus Salazar Torres, Legal Manager of ICA s Heavy Projects Division, Mexico Among the things we appreciate working with CAA is its ability to outline and explain complex technical situations with clarity and simplicity, as well as its capacity to manage and include legal requirements such as juridical foundations, links between cause and effect, etc. in their analysis and reports. I consider CAA a multidisciplinary company with characteristics that make them unique, with highly specialized individuals, providing services in a very professional manner that gives CAA a level of excellence in claim management and technical expert services.
