Innovating the commercial framework - Improving contractual structures and aligning incentives between project owners and the supply chain – presentation by McKinsey & Company
Online registration for this event has closed. If you wish to attend, please email.
Advancing contractual structures and aligning incentives between project owners and the supply chain in Australia can help improve project outcomes and increase market appetite and competition. McKinsey & Company research suggests that contractors and suppliers consider contractual structures and incentives to be the principal hurdle to achieving better outcomes on projects, transaction complexity and regulatory burden add unnecessary cost and delays and prevent high productivity.
Presented by Peter Trueman.

Quantum Meruit claims following Mann v Paterson Constructions?
Online registration for this event has now closed. Please email if you wish to attend.
Prior to the High Court's recent decision in Mann v Paterson Constructions Pty Ltd [2019] HCA 32, claims by builders and contractors on a quantum meruit basis could not exceed the agreed contractual price. That practice has now been ruled out in many cases.
This seminar will cover the background decision, precisely what was and was not decided and how the reasoning can affect both inside and outside the construction industry.
The key areas that will be reviewed include:
the differences between divisible and entire obligations;
understanding what the case decided;
the three sets of differing reasoning;
variations regulated by statute; and
broader impact.
For more information please see this flyer.
