Construction is an integral cog in the
machine of Australian society. Even against the backdrop of
extraordinary challenges during the age of COVID-19, work as a
construction lawyer remains exciting and “intellectually
stimulating”, say two BigLaw partners.
On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
is joined by Baker McKenzie partners Matt Coleman and Joshua
Saunders to discuss the state of affairs in the construction
industry and the materials shortages that have been faced in the
age of COVID-19, how these and related issues have impacted upon
the work of lawyers in this space and how such challenges make for
such exciting work.
Mr Coleman and Mr Saunders delve into why work as a construction
lawyer is so “intellectually stimulating”, whether ongoing
geopolitical concerns will exacerbate challenges faced here in
Australia, trends and opportunities on the horizon for lawyers in
this space, whether the work of construction lawyers will look
different to pre-pandemic times and what excites these partners
about their work moving forward.
