Construction & Infrastructure

Our client focused and value-driven approach.  

Our Construction & Infrastructure team is committed to working with our clients to achieve their commercial objectives.
Our Construction & Infrastructure lawyers specialise in all aspects of construction and infrastructure law with particular expertise in documenting and advising on complex projects.  We are focused on assisting clients to effectively manage contractual and commercial risk and to avoid, minimise and resolve disputes.   

We act for principals, developers, contractors, facilities managers, consultants and other industry participants.  Our clients range from major institutions to specialist consultants and subcontractors.

We deliver front and back end services including:

  • tenders and project documentation;
  • claims preparation and review;
  • security of payment advice and claims;
  • contract administration, risk management and strategic project planning; and
  • alternative dispute resolution, litigation and arbitration.

We believe that a first-rate service requires:

  • genuine listening –  understanding your objectives within the broader commercial and political context of your operations;
  • designing and implementing specific practical and cost effective strategies to achieve desired objectives;
  • genuine partner accessibility and responsiveness;
  • precise and concise drafting – in advices and the preparation of project documentation;
  • effective use of technology and resources to deliver valued services; and
  • clear and prompt communication – no surprises, particularly in accounts.

Our team delivers on these aspects as part of our client focused and value-driven approach to achieve our clients’ commercial objectives.
