The trouble is, there are probably twenty-seven so-called 'standard' building contracts.

The worst legal experience of my life. I spent more than $100'000 in legal fees with these hopeless lawyers and got treated like rubbish.
They almost missed evidence submission dates because they are so disorganised. Asking me 48hrs before the hearing for all evidence again because they'd lost it all.
And 48hrs before the hearing that i need to pay $10'000 and get a barrister for the hearing.
Halfway through a matter i got upset that they were doing nothing. They terminated their services. Leaving me absolutely stuck. Then they even stalled and any delayed giving me my files intentionally.

The recent legal review of two Building Contracts associated with our Strata Plan’s Pool Upgrade Project was my second experience with Richard.
This time I was heavily involved in the detail and Richard’s logical approach and expert advice guided me through the process seamlessly.
The outcome will now ensure that any required legal remediation is now available to our Owners Corporation. Richard provided a cost effective solution with a positive outcome on what could have been a costly exercise. I would not hesitate to recommend Watson & Watson Lawyers to anyone seeking legal advice on any

I have instructed Watson & Watson in relation to various litigation and commercial matters.
Recently they undertook a matter on my behalf with an excellent outcome due to their particular care and dedicated input in ensuring my matter was handled expeditiously efficiently and cost effectively. The outcome was beyond my expectations.
I am extremely grateful to Watson & Watson Lawyers for a job well done. Without Watson & Watson Lawyers’ invaluable assistance and dedication to the matter, a positive outcome could not have been achieved.

At first Mr Watson was very sympathetic to our case. A 90 year old cousin was asked by her Strata to move out for 6 weeks while they do waterproofing of common areas. Her unit bathroom was demolished and work ceased for 3 months while they tried to bully her into paying for new fittings, toilet, bath, cupboards etc. It strung out for 11months, and after 7 months I approached Watson & Watson Solicitors. The first meeting at $550 for an hour, Mr Watson was heavy with a cold and coughed every time he spoke. I could hardly hear him, and told him he should be home in bed with a hot water bottle. The

I Highly recommend Richard Watson, 4 years ago he helped us with a case against a rogue builder who was renovating our neighbours house and damaging ours. We found him to be easy to talk to, creative, honest, ethical and straight forward in his approach. Thanks to his superior knowledge of the Law and how to apply it for each case, his advise resulted in a pay out to us instead of going to court. I was so impressed with his services that we are again using him to help us with a Strata issue and an Owners Corporation who are behaving badly!

Watson and Watson acted for us in a building dispute, Richard was highly recommended to us as being the best construction lawyer. Shortly after meeting with Richard it was obvious to us that Richard was very experienced and thorough when preparing evidence in our case. We found Richard to be very reassuring in this difficult period of our lives. Richard was always willing to consult with us regarding any of our concerns. As our case progressed Richard was very shroud in the way he counteracted the aggressive and uncompromising nature of the other party, this was of great benefit, as a result he

We very much appreciated Richard Watson’s pro-active and straight forward approach to our NSW District court case. The firm’s expertise in Building Industry disputes was fully tested and the favourable outcome was expertly predicted. The advice received was comprehensive and not concealed in qualifications and unfathomable legalise. Richard Watson was also happy to provide an upfront review on our position at short notice. We would be very happy to work with Watson’s should the need arise in the future.
