Construction Legal

Founded in 2018, Construction Legal has disrupted the legal industry via our unique dual offering which combines tier-one legal expertise with on-the-ground engineering experience. Our lawyers have decades of experience in construction law at the elite level. Similarly, our expert engineering team of major projects specialists and commercial directors know billion-dollar developments, mega infrastructure works and PPPs. What that means is while our lawyers assess legal matters, our engineers work in tandem to vet any technical construction documents. This unparalleled double-barrelled capability amounts to an embedded understanding of how construction projects are tendered, managed and delivered. It enables our firm to interrogate both the legal and technical scope of construction contracts in ways other law firms simply cannot. Other firms have to hire expensive consultants, which often results in crucial technical issues getting lost in translation. It explains how Construction Legal continues to dislodge top-tier firms to represent large developers, global construction companies, civil engineering firms and state government. It also explains why Construction Legal’s principal solicitor has advised the NSW Building Commission on legislative reforms since 2018. And why we are recommended as the go-to law firm among developers, contractors and builders of every size seeking to gain their iCIRT accreditation from Equifax. Happily, our clients have the nicest things to say about our service (whose testimonials can be found on our website), but we’ve also been honoured with the following awards: AFR’s ‘Fast Starters’ List of 2020 ‘Top 100 Women in Construction’ 2023 – won by principal solicitor Jessica Rippon CBA NSW’s ‘Service Member of the Year’ 2023 Australasian Lawyers ‘Boutique Law Firm of the Year’ 2024 Whatever you’re building, ensure your legal foundations are rock-solid. Break ground with a new breed of law firm. Construction Legal.
