About

We have a proven track record advising on iconic, high profile developments in the commercial, residential and infrastructure space.

Our team has dedicated experts in their respective fields and for both transactional matters and disputes, ensuring that clients get the highest quality advice and representation.


We assist with the negotiation, drafting and entry into effective development and construction contracts that meet clients’ commercial risk allocation requirements. Our advice on potential claims and disputes is focussed on maximising our clients’ positions, while minimising expenditure on costly disputes.
