Adam Perl
Partner, Sydney
I support clients in the structuring, procurement and delivery of major and complex infrastructure, energy, transport and engineering projects. Informed by my experience in private practice, in-house and internationally, I provide practical, solutions-driven advice.

I specialise in major infrastructure and construction tenders and procurement, contract drafting and negotiation, project and delivery model structuring, joint ventures and complex interface arrangements. I also have significant experience in contentious project administration and strategic project advisory work. I have worked on major projects across Australia, New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific.
