Even with the best planning, disputes are inevitable in projects of olympic scale. The key is how you manage them.

In part two of this special two-part conversation, Ashurst’s Andrew McCormack continues the discussion with Melissa Yeo, Partner in Ashurst’s Dispute Resolution team, and Michael Duggan, Director in Ashurst Risk Advisory, turning the focus to how dispute resilience can be embedded into project delivery and legacy planning.

Melissa explains how dispute boards, governance mechanisms and collaborative contracting can help reduce impact once issues arise, while Michael reflects on the role dispute management will play in shaping Brisbane 2032’s long-term infrastructure and reputation. They also explore what legacy looks like when dispute resilience is treated not as a legal afterthought, but as a leadership mindset.
