How lawyers and engineers can work together better, with Dr. Paul Tracey

Earlier this year at the annual Society of Construction Law Australia conference in Brisbane, we caught up with panellists and moderators from around Australia to discuss the biggest issues in the industry today.

Matthew Bell is an Associate Professor and Co-director for Studies for Construction Law at Melbourne Law School, and Trevor Thomas is a Partner at Corr Chambers Westgarth. 

In this episode, Matthew and Trevor debrief their entertaining presentation on liquidated damages, where they used AI to create their own episode of The Rest is History. They also talk about the intricacies of low-value liquidated damage and its implications for drafting relevant clauses.

Why dispute resolution is becoming more complex

Earlier this year at the annual Society of Construction Law Australia conference in Brisbane, we caught up with panellists and moderators from around Australia to discuss the biggest issues in the industry today.

Mia Timpano is a former journalist and final-year law student who describes herself as a “construction law enthusiast”.
Harris Ashton is a Legal Research Officer at VCAT and the winner of the 2024 student Brooking Prize for his paper ‘Illegality and Quantum Meruit in Residential Construction Law.’
Michael Bleby is the Deputy Property Editor at The Australian Financial Review and has written extensively about property and construction for more than a decade.

In this episode, Mia discusses how lawyers can incorporate AI into their workflows to work smarter without compromising the fundamental skills necessary for success. Harris explains how illegal contracts leave homeowners vulnerable in the event of problems and what needs to be done to prevent people from agreeing to dodgy deals. Finally, Michael shares his thoughts about how to deliver the necessary infrastructure for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
