Whether you’re a Contractor, Headcontractor, or a Subcontractor, you’ll need a competently drafted agreement in place.

A competently drafted agreement will protect your interests, establish clarity, and reduce the risk of a costly and complex dispute.

At Vogt Legal, our experienced civil contracting team can draft a variety of Subcontractor, maintenance, framework, labour, and equipment hire agreements tailored to your needs.

We can draft deft clauses into any Contractor Agreement to address the following critical issues:

• variations;
• site conditions;
• safety;
• insurance;
• default & termination;
• liability;
• indemnities;
• extension of time; and,
• non-solicitation.

Do you use a generic template agreement? Do you know whether your template is up to date? Vogt Legal can assist you.

The law is never stagnant. 

If you enter into contracts using a generic template which hasn’t been reviewed in many years, you’ll need legal advice to ensure that this agreement aligns with current legal requirements, including those imposed by:

• Modern Awards;
• the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth);
• the Australian Consumer Law and the law of unfair contract terms; and,
• the Building and Construction Industry (Security of Payment) Act 2021.

In our experience, Contractors often follow certain unwritten practices and customs which are independent from the terms of their agreements.

Vogt Legal can review and advise on existing contractor agreements so that they:

• accurately reflect the terms of the agreement which the contractor intends to carry out;
• are compliant; and,
• where necessary, are amended or redrafted.

Do you know whether a contract is fair?
Do you know if a clause should be a ‘deal breaker’?
Vogt Legal can assist you.

If you’re a Subcontractor and you have been awarded a significant job, before you sign any lengthy legal document presented to you by a Headcontractor, you’ll need legal advice.

At Vogt Legal, our experienced civil contracting team can ably review and advise on Headcontractor imposed agreements including by:

• resolving ambiguity and incomplete sections of Headcontractor Agreements;
• summarising the effect of key terms;
• identifying relative, latent, and immediate sources of risk; and,
• where appropriate, recommending that clauses be amended by proposing suitable alternatives.

We take into account commercial realities, propose feasible solutions, and equip Contractors to make informed, confident decisions.
