Andrew Orford

Andrew works closely with his clients in the infrastructure, construction, engineering, energy, and resources sectors to develop and implement strategies to resolve large and complex disputes in a quick and commercial manner. His experience spans all dispute resolution mechanisms across Australia, including litigation, arbitration, and expert determination when necessary.

As a specialist in construction dispute resolution, Andrew leverages the insights gained from his previous senior commercial roles at BHP Billiton, ensuring a dedicated focus on completing projects on time and on budget, while minimising the risk of disputes. This approach is reflected in the diversity of his client base – he acts for government entities, owners/principals, and tier 1 contractors on their major projects throughout Australia.

Clients value Andrew's strong leadership, valuable input, and his ability to communicate a clear and effective strategy from the beginning of their engagement.
