​

Construction Law Experience Shaped by Industry

​

Krishita brings extensive construction industry knowledge developed through significant appointments at Master Builders Victoria, where she served as Legal Counsel and Associate Legal Counsel.

​

Working directly with domestic and commercial builders, subcontractors, developers, architects and construction professionals, she advised on contractual obligations, variations, extensions of time, payment disputes, defects and construction legislation.

​

Notably, Krishita was the lead lawyer responsible for amending Master Builders Victoria's suite of building contracts, incorporating member feedback and legislative reforms. This experience provided a detailed understanding of the contractual challenges facing Victorian builders and the practical application of construction law across the industry.

​

Major Projects and Construction Dispute Resolution

​

Krishita's experience extends to major infrastructure delivery, having served as Senior Lawyer at Major Road Projects Victoria, advising on complex contractual arrangements associated with Melbourne's North East Link Project.

​

Previously, as an Associate in the Construction and Projects team at Rigby Cooke Lawyers, she advised builders, developers and contractors on construction contracts, contractual disputes, Security of Payment matters and VCAT proceedings.

​

Her in-house experience at Lloyd Group further strengthened her understanding of construction project delivery, contract administration, subcontractor arrangements and the commercial pressures facing building contractors.

​

Practical Legal Advice Grounded in Construction Experience

​

Krishita's approach combines technical legal knowledge with an understanding of how construction projects operate, from tendering and contract negotiation through to project completion and dispute resolution.

​

Having advised industry associations, government infrastructure teams, commercial builders and construction professionals, she understands that construction disputes require commercially considered solutions, not simply legal arguments.

​

At Whelan Lawyers, this experience supports the firm's commitment to delivering clear, commercially focused construction law advice that protects clients' contractual interests, manages project risks and prioritises practical outcomes.

​

Because effective construction law advice requires understanding not just the contract, but the project behind it.
