Provided by Dentons New Zealand
Our Major Projects and Construction team is one of New Zealand’s largest and most specialised, advising on many of the country’s most significant infrastructure and property developments, as well as major projects across the South Pacific and Australia.
We provide end-to-end construction expertise covering both front-end project structuring and contract drafting, and back-end dispute resolution. Our integrated approach ensures commercially pragmatic, future-focused solutions that support our clients' long-term success in a dynamic and high-risk sector.
A core focus of our practice is advising Tier 1 contractors on contractual claims and complex dispute resolution across New Zealand’s largest construction projects. We have acted in some of the country's most high-profile adjudications, arbitrations, and litigation matters involving building defects and project delays. Our team is highly experienced across all forms of dispute resolution, including negotiation, mediation, adjudication, arbitration and court proceedings.
On the front end, we regularly advise on all major forms of construction and infrastructure contracts, including PPPs, alliances, D&C, EPC and ECI arrangements. We work across the transport, infrastructure, energy and property development sectors, offering deep experience in both public and private sector delivery models.
