Our extensive experience includes the following types of projects and disputes:

High-Profile Industry Projects

We act in major construction and infrastructure disputes, including class actions involving defective design, cladding, structural failures, delays, and cost overruns. Our broader experience includes property damage, public liability, environmental claims, WorkSafe matters, and financial lines.

Energy, Resources & Infrastructure Disputes

We represent construction professionals in disputes involving wind farms, power stations, and major infrastructure projects. These often centre on alleged design defects, operational failures, or regulatory breaches. We identify issues quickly and advise our clients promptly on the legal, practical and strategic issues involved. We are skilled at resolving these disputes efficiently both in litigated matters and prior to proceedings being commenced.

Land Sub-Division & Contamination Disputes

We defend claims involving subdivision design and environmental issues across greenfield and brownfield projects. Allegations typically include design errors, under-pricing, or remediation failures. We prioritise early, cost-effective resolutions.

Commercial Projects Disputes

We act in disputes over commercial developments such as shopping centres, supermarkets, and processing plants. Issues include structural and fire safety design, acoustic performance, and seismic compliance and often involving cross-border elements.

Residential Projects Disputes

We advise on disputes involving towers, apartment complexes, and subdivisions. We manage claims around defects, foundation and waterproofing failures, and geotechnical risks, often involving multiple parties and complex stakeholder interests.
