Projects Insights

21 December 2007

Welcome to the final edition of Projects Insights for 2007, in which we'll look at two key issues in public private partnerships - getting the best from your legal advisers before you start, and how to structure the termination regime.

We'll also look at a recent case which has clarified how the new proportionate liability schemes operate, the new OHS Regulations for construction work in Victoria, and when a bidder can be disqualified from a tendering process for non-compliance.

Finally, everyone from our Major Projects team would like to wish you and your loved ones Season's Greetings and a peaceful and happy New Year.
