As one of Australia’s leading national construction law firms, Maddocks delivers all legal aspects involved in construction and major projects.
This status is grounded in our understanding of the inherent complexities involved in delivering mid- and large-scale projects across Australia. Our extensive experience across the full project lifecycle means we are thorough and proactive in identifying issues.

Maddocks assists with all elements of project procurement and tendering, including project documentation and contract administration. We also offer advice for navigating local, national and international building industry regulations, as well as dispute resolution and litigation advice when projects hit a hurdle.
