We are one of the country's largest, specialised infrastructure, major project and construction and engineering practices. With 7 partners and a supporting legal team of 29 solicitors and paralegals, our Construction & Engineering Group is capable of taking on the most complex projects. We have an appreciation of, and have been involved in, the preparation and negotiation of the documentation relating to some of the country's most significant infrastructure and PPP projects.
We advise major stakeholders in the construction and engineering industries, including government departments, statutory authorities, developers, contractors, specialist subcontractors, architects, engineers and other consultants.
Our services cover the spectrum of construction projects including:
- full suite of project delivery systems, structures and documentation
- project procurement
- contract administration issues
- risk analysis and formulating strategies to manage/minimise risk exposure
- dispute resolution
- litigation.
We bring this expertise to projects as diverse as health and prison facilities, other social infrastructure developments, power station projects, airport developments, road and rail projects, major commercial developments, mining infrastructure, waste treatment plants, large residential developments, educational facilities and aged care facilities.
We have a talented and experienced group of dispute resolution lawyers in our Construction & Engineering Group. Although focused on dispute avoidance and minimisation, we have the capacity and experience to conduct the largest of matters in all Australian jurisdictions. We seek to implement expedited procedures where appropriate to achieve early resolution, and are regularly involved in mediations, conciliations, facilitated negotiations, expert determinations and expedited commercial arbitrations. We also utilise legislative remedies where appropriate and have a detailed working knowledge of the security of payment legislation across the country. Our expertise is recognised, both nationally and internationally.
