Building and Construction Law Update - Lunch and Learn Series
Date & time: 17 March 2026, 1pm to 2pm AEDT
Building and construction law continues to shift under the pressure of reform, market volatility and increasingly active adjudication regimes.

In this Lunch and Learn session, you will:
- Get across recent Security of Payment reforms and key judicial decisions
- Understand adjudication trends and their practical impact on disputes
- Apply recent case law affecting contract administration and claims
- Assess evolving risk allocation and liability in current market conditions
- Identify significant legislative and regulatory changes nationwide
At the end of this live webinar, you will earn 1 CPD point.
