Disputes we resolve
Disputes can arise at any stage of a project. Common issues include defective or non-compliant work, delay and disruption claims, disputed variations, scope disagreements, liquidated damages, and wrongful termination. Whatever the cause, we help you understand your rights and the most effective path to resolution.
A strategy matched to the dispute
Not every dispute belongs in court. We advise on the full range of resolution options - direct negotiation, mediation, expert determination, adjudication and litigation - and recommend the approach that gives you the best outcome for the least cost and delay.
When litigation is necessary, we act in the NSW courts and tribunals, including the Supreme Court of NSW Technology and Construction List and NCAT.
Protecting the project
Where possible, we work to resolve disputes without derailing the project or destroying commercial relationships. Early, well-advised intervention often prevents a minor disagreement from escalating into expensive litigation.
