Construction
The Australian construction industry is in the midst of a property and infrastructure boom, with a long pipeline of public and privately funded projects.

We provide legal insight and strategies to help clients minimise risk.
Our strategic counsel spans advising and supporting both public and private sector organisations on all aspects of a construction project lifecycle, including procurement and tendering documentation, financing and dispute resolution, including under the State and Territory Security of Payment legislation.
We advise government and statutory authorities, local government, contractors, subcontractors, facilities management providers, developers, institutional property owners, investors and consultants.
