Simon has a particular focus on contentious construction law. His work has required him to advise on projects of national importance and projects across various industries, including: transport (road and rail), commercial and retail, tourism, hospitality, military, energy (conventional and renewable), natural resources, urban development and social infrastructure.
Those matters have been conducted by way of all forms of dispute resolution, including statutory adjudication, mediation, expert determination, dispute avoidance board, arbitration, litigation (first instance, appellate and final), and in both domestic and international jurisdictions.
Simon also assists on non-contentious construction matters, and regularly provides project counsel services and strategic advice in relation to project delivery issues, including those related to scope, variations, design, defects, delay and disruption.
