Our Services

Time. Cost. Quality. And Legal Advice that Understands All Three.

In the construction industry, time, cost, and quality are the pillars of every successful project. Each legal decision can affect all three — and we understand that.

At Level Field Lawyers, our advice is informed by genuine industry insight and shaped by years of experience advising builders, subcontractors, consultants, and suppliers on complex projects.

We provide clear, commercially focused legal solutions that support project delivery, manage risk, and protect your interests — without losing sight of the bigger picture.

  • When disputes escalate, we provide strong, strategic representation. We act in all jurisdictions and forums, from state courts to tribunals, with a focus on resolving matters efficiently and effectively. Our team brings deep experience in complex construction litigation, always with a clear eye on risk, cost, and commercial outcomes.

  • Adjudication is a core area of our practice. We act for both claimants and respondents in the commercial construction and infrastructure sectors, with a strong track record of achieving fair and commercially sound outcomes. Our team combines technical precision with strategic insight, delivering persuasive applications and responses within demanding timeframes. We are recognised for our expertise in this specialised and fast-paced area of dispute resolution.

  • We regularly assist clients to resolve disputes through alternative dispute resolution processes, including mediation, expert determination and arbitration. Our focus is on achieving practical, cost-effective outcomes that reflect your commercial objectives and avoid unnecessary disruption. With a strategic and measured approach, we help you resolve disputes efficiently while preserving key project relationships wherever possible.

  • We provide thorough and commercially focused contract reviews to help you understand your rights, obligations, and risks before you commit. Whether it’s a head contract, subcontract, consultancy agreement or supply contract, we identify potential issues early and provide clear advice to protect your interests. Our goal is to ensure you enter every contract with confidence and clarity — not surprises.

  • We draft clear, concise, and commercially balanced contracts tailored to the needs of your project and business. From head contracts and subcontracts to consultancy and supply agreements, our drafting is informed by deep industry knowledge and a focus on practical outcomes. We help you establish the right contractual foundations to manage risk, protect your interests, and support strong working relationships.

  • We offer flexible contract administration support tailored to the scale and needs of your project. Whether you require end-to-end contract management or targeted assistance at key stages, our team provides reliable, practical support to ensure contractual obligations are properly managed and risks are effectively controlled. Our scalable service model allows us to integrate seamlessly with your project team — when and where you need us.

  • We provide strategic advice and practical assistance across all types of construction claims — including variations, extensions of time, delay costs, and latent conditions. Whether you need high-level guidance or hands-on support, we help identify the contractual and legal basis for your claim and develop a clear, structured approach. Our expertise ensures your claims are well-founded, properly documented, and positioned for the best possible outcome.

  • We assist clients with a wide range of regulatory and licensing matters across the construction industry. Our experience includes advising on licensing eligibility and compliance, responding to regulatory investigations, managing disciplinary proceedings, and challenging suspensions, cancellations, and statutory notices. Whether you're dealing with the QBCC or another regulator, we help you navigate the complexities of the regulatory environment with clear, strategic advice that protects your business and reputation.

  • We provide strategic legal support for projects facing delay, disruption, cost overruns, or contractor insolvency. Our team works closely with project stakeholders and trusted industry consultants to assess risk, stabilise delivery, and implement recovery strategies. Whether you're managing a failing contractor, navigating payment disputes, or dealing with regulatory concerns, we bring calm, clarity, and commercial focus to get your project back on track.

  • Insolvency is an ever-present risk in the construction industry. We provide targeted legal support to businesses facing financial distress — whether you're responding to insolvency within the contracting chain or managing your own financial challenges. Our expertise includes advising on statutory demands, deed proposals, subcontractor protections, and the legal implications of administration or liquidation. We help protect your position, preserve entitlements, and manage risk in uncertain times.
