Rimkus strengthens team with delay and disputes specialist Zane Hedge

Global professional services firm Rimkus has strengthened its dispute resolution team in Australia with Zane Hedge, who is based in the firm’s Perth office.

A highly experienced delay and construction disputes specialist, Hedge brings more than 37 years of industry experience to the firm.

Throughout his career, he has supported clients on some of the world’s most complex infrastructure, transportation, aviation, energy, utilities, industrial, and commercial developments, building a track record in delay analysis, contract management, claims management, expert witness services, and dispute avoidance.

Hedge has spent the past 17 years in the Middle East, most recently as a Senior Director at Kroll. Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership positions at BRG, Accuracy and Deloitte. Before relocating to the Middle East, he spent two decades in the United Kingdom, working for a range of firms, professional services organisations and construction companies.

Commenting on his appointment, Hedge said: “I am delighted to be joining Rimkus at such an exciting stage in the company’s growth. I look forward to working with colleagues throughout the Asia Pacific region to support clients in resolving challenging construction and infrastructure disputes and helping them achieve successful project outcomes.”

Headquartered in the US, Rimkus is a global provider of engineering, technical, and construction consulting services to corporations, insurance companies, law firms, and government agencies. The firm is a leading player in the area of forensic delay, quantum and project management services within the capital projects landscape.

Hedge: “Rimkus has built an outstanding reputation for delivering independent expert services across complex disputes and project advisory assignments.”

Alistair Mein, Managing Director APAC at Rimkus, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Zane. His impressive breadth and depth of experience will be a tremendous asset, but just as important are the qualities he brings as a person. Zane is a strong communicator, a collaborative team player, and someone of high integrity. These are the strengths we value as we continue to build our team and position Rimkus to exceed our clients’ expectations.”
