The Toolbox (Australia): EP2 Construction and Infrastructure disputes outlook for 2025 and beyond

In the second episode of our Toolbox Podcast series, C&I Disputes Partner Dan Dragovic, and Senior Associate Stewart McWilliam, discuss current contracting trends in the construction and infrastructure market, and what those trends will mean for 2025 and beyond. With private equity and public spending increasingly driving the energy transition, and a ‘hot’ contracting market pushing participants away from traditional contracting models, we discuss the lessons that can be taken from the last construction boom, some of the problems we foresee arising on new energy projects and how the nature of those projects might demand international arbitration as the dispute resolution process of choice.
