Transport Infrastructure Law | Rail, Road, Tunnel & Bridge Disputes

Transport Infrastructure Lawyer | Rail, Road, Tunnel & Bridge Law

Australia is in the middle of an unprecedented transport infrastructure pipeline. Metros and suburban rail expansions, level crossing removal programs, motorway upgrades, tunnels, bridges, airport works and port projects now account for some of the largest and most legally complex construction contracts in the country. Multi-billion dollar programs, alliance-style delivery and dense urban interfaces make disputes almost inevitable.
