Legal Expertise Built for the Construction Industry

HFK Lawyers is a full-service legal firm with over 90 years of combined experience, providing tailored legal solutions to builders, contractors, and developers across Australia. As a proud APB Summit sponsor and active participant in the residential building community, HFK Lawyers understands the unique pressures builders face — from rising material costs and labour shortages to the complexity of managing contracts, defects, and compliance.

The firm’s construction law team is led by Partner Michael Finch, who specialises in complex litigation, adjudication in State and Federal Courts, security of payment matters, and building and construction disputes. Whether a builder needs day-to-day operational guidance or representation in a contested dispute, HFK Lawyers brings practical, results-focused advice built on deep industry knowledge.

HFK Lawyers’ construction services include:

Contract Negotiation & Drafting — tailored construction contracts, including Australian Standard contracts and bespoke agreements, structured to protect the builder’s position.

Regulatory Compliance — guidance on local, state, and national regulations governing the construction industry.

Dispute Resolution — representation in court, tribunal, and alternative dispute resolution forums, with a focus on achieving commercial outcomes quickly and cost-effectively.

Security of Payment — expert advice on adjudication and payment dispute processes under security of payment legislation.

Defect & Warranty Claims — managing post-construction legal matters with a strategic approach to minimising exposure.

Early legal advice often means the difference between a quick resolution and a drawn-out, costly dispute. HFK Lawyers is here to help builders get ahead of problems before they escalate.
