Since the late 1960s, our Firm has played a rewarding role advising on the development of Papua New Guinea.

This role has involved guiding both the state, state-owned enterprises, and private sector companies on some of the most significant construction projects in the country’s history.

With a strong economy and the state opening up to public-private partnerships and procuring design and build contractors, construction is on the rise.

Bring on board a team that has advised on the construction of mining sites, oil and gas sites, supporting transport infrastructure, ports, renewable energy projects, and telecommunications infrastructure.

To ensure your construction project runs to plan, rely on a team that understands the complexity of both the statutory and traditional laws and is experienced in guiding you through the various phases of construction.

Look to us for:

• Advice on land access, native title, cultural heritage and obtaining a social license to operate
• The drafting of construction contracts
• The drafting of legislation specific to the project
• Environmental management advice
• Maintaining ongoing relationships with traditional owners and regulatory authorities
• Dispute resolution

For a team that can foresee and negotiate the hurdles, partner with us.
