Craig Frinsdorf

Partner

Craig’s in-house and private practice experience over 17 years allows an honest, practical and astute approach to construction matters, with that approach aimed at resolving disputes in a proactive and commercial manner.

Craig prepares, reviews and provides advice about contract documentation required for civil works and commercial developments / building projects. He also provides contract administration support and guidance throughout the life of the relevant project.

In collaboration with the Commercial Construction and Dispute Resolution teams, Craig provides dispute resolution advice and support in respect of any commercial construction dispute, including having an in-depth understanding of the adjudication processes established under the Security of Payment regimes throughout Australia.

Craig has had the benefit of working with, and acting for, principals / owners, builders, subcontractors, consultants and contract administrators / superintendents so is familiar with the different challenges parties face throughout the life of the project. In this regard, Craig understands that the lifecycle of a project requires the commitment and collaboration of all stakeholders, including lawyers. With this in mind, Craig enjoys learning about his client’s business so that a strategy can be implemented that best suits the needs of the client, but in a way that encourages a “best for project” approach.
