Doyles Arbitration Lawyers is well experienced over many years in designing and drafting contracts, including: design and construct, guaranteed maximum price, novated, and incentivised contracts.
If the client has elected to use one of the standard contracts common in the industry, then we can develop amendments directed to manage at a client’s particular exposure in the relevant circumstances.

The firm has in-depth experience in procuring all types of development approval, including residential, commercial, and industrial developments.
Contract Delivery Advice

Doyles Arbitration Lawyers has had long and varied claims experience in projects of all descriptions, high-rise buildings, civil projects, infrastructure, mining, offshore, and marine projects.
Because construction does not take place in isolation from the business community, commercial issues may impinge upon a project.
Additional areas of law include issues in the area of trade practices, intellectual and other industrial property rights, industrial relations, environmental law, and property law, to name just a few.
Dispute Resolution
Doyles Arbitration Lawyers is able to design appropriate dispute resolution plans encompassing litigation, arbitration, expert determination, or alternative dispute resolution for construction claims, professional indemnity and other insurance claims (including conduct of proceedings in all jurisdictions and in arbitration), with a preference for cost-effective mediation or alternative dispute resolution.
The firm has considerable experience in the conduct of litigation at all levels of jurisdiction
And often appears as counsel and in most interlocutory hearings.
Our solicitors are also experienced in using alternative methods to litigation in order to resolve disputes.
Their experience in the areas of mediation and commercial negotiation often helps to achieve more client-satisfactory results more promptly than the formal litigation process. Experience shows that early identification of disputes is essential to their minimisation and ultimately leads, to a successful project.
Our role at this time is twofold: we identify any technical steps that must be taken under the contract, and we work with our clients to achieve a satisfactory and early resolution of disputes.
Doyles Arbitration Lawyers has had extensive experience in all alternative dispute resolution processes, including mediation, arbitration, and expert determination.
