What a chemical engineer brings
- Understanding the behaviour of materials, their ageing and degradation (corrosion), and possible interactions with other products.
- Knowledge of matter at molecular level makes it possible to understand reaction mechanisms and to get to the root of physico-chemical and/or biological processes.
I have worked with most of the leading names in insurance and several major industrial companies.
Behind one expert, two more
I work with two trusted, complementary partners:
- To help me steer a case and analyse liability, I can rely on an insurance expert with a keen eye for disputes.
- For complex financial analyses, I can also call on a seasoned finance director, who will take charge of that aspect of the case.
