About Rob Peterson

For most of my career, I have specialized in consulting on construction and government contract disputes, particularly in the areas of cost and pricing. After working for top litigation consulting firms for eighteen years, I founded LitCon Group to continue to serve my clients, while operating in an employee-friendly setting that revolved around my ideals. I have since had the great fortune to attract several talented and dedicated partners and employees to join me in the expansion of the firm. I have also had the pleasure of expanding the breadth of my own work to include consumer packaged goods, pharmaceuticals, embassies, airports, several spent nuclear fuel storage facilities, and historic renovations, among others.I have more than thirty-five years of engineering and consulting experience. I have testified as an expert on damages pricing in matters that were before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, Civilian Board of Contract Appeals, Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals, the London Court of International Arbitration, and in ASBCA-sponsored ADR proceedings, among others. I have also lectured on the topic of identifying and pricing damagesI have worked on many diverse engagements with amounts in dispute as high as $1 billion. I have worked on projects within the U.S. and at several overseas locations, including projects in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Panama, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.
