Construction Projects Disputes | Up to SA

The Firm
One of Australia's leading independent law firms, with a projects practice recognised among the strongest in the market. The work sits at the centre of the country's most significant infrastructure and energy disputes, and the client list reflects that: government, major principals, and the contractors building the projects that shape the economy.

The Timing
The projects disputes pipeline is full and growing. The Brisbane team is actively building, which means real matter ownership, direct partner contact, and a clear runway for someone with the experience to take it on.

The Work Itself
This is a practice with genuine sector breadth. Civil engineering one month, energy or mining the next, then transport or oil and gas. The matters move across sectors and across forums. You'll find yourself in court, in arbitration (domestic and international), and working through expert determinations and mediations. The disputes are substantial, technically demanding, and the kind that build a reputation in the market.

Where You'll Land
A collegiate team that takes the work seriously without taking itself too seriously. Flexible working is standard rather than negotiated. Five weeks annual leave, 26 weeks gender-neutral paid parental leave with super paid on both paid and unpaid leave, and a wellbeing program that goes beyond the brochure. A genuine pro bono and community engagement program for those who want it.

Sound Like You?
You bring 6+ years PQE in projects, construction or infrastructure disputes, with strong academics behind you and genuine experience across litigation, arbitration and ADR. You're comfortable acting for sophisticated clients, whether government, principals or major contractors, and you have the technical foundation and judgement to match the work. Most importantly, you're thinking about the next decade of your career, not just the next role.
