Level Twenty Seven Chambers

Noted as one of the ‘strongest sets in Brisbane, with many great advocates,’ Level Twenty Seven Chambers has been involved in high value, cross-border and national infrastructure disputes, including those concerning the upcoming Olympics in Brisbane. Alongside this, the set has also been involved in all types of structures and infrastructure, including oil and gas, property, and transport, with barristers such as Shane Doyle KC focused on major construction and engineering projects including CBI Constructors Pty v Chevron Pty Ltd, a dispute over the provision of construction of the Gorgon LNG Project, in which Doyle appeared at the appeal in setting aside an arbitral award. Having practiced as both a solicitor and barrister on construction, insurance and property disputes, Michael Trim has been led and unled across a range of construction disputes including defects, design and issues of variations, with one such example being Australia Pacific LNG Pty Limited v Sooner Insurance Company & Ors, an AU$300m claim in the Supreme Court of Queensland against nine insurer defendants under various policies, following significant alleged damage during the construction and commissioning of the APLNG Project. Claire Schneider is a name to watch for her work in arbitration and energy class actions.
