Our barristers understand the technical complexities of such matters which often require expert assessment involving a variety of disciplines and regularly work with experts in these disputes. Our members are experienced with the full range of construction disputes including disputes involving defects, design, issues of variations, extensions of time and liquidated damages, delay, disruption and prolongation, latent conditions, certification, payment disputes (including under the Building and Construction Industry Payments Act 2004 (Qld) and its interstate equivalents), performance bonds, guarantees, letters of credit and other forms of security (including charges under the Subcontractors’ Charges Act 1974).
Our barristers are also experienced in the various forms of alternative dispute resolution which are used in construction disputes, including domestic and international arbitrations, expert determination, the “reference” process in various jurisdictions and the statutory claims process.
