‘A calm and steady voice under pressure’ Welcome to McComish Legal’s LinkedIn profile page. We are a Western Australian ‘boutique’ construction law and commercial litigation firm; Forged (like a Masamune sword) from over 30 years of experience helping domestic and international corporations resolve their most challenging construction related claims, issues, and disputes throughout WA, and in the NT and SE Asia. The stakes have been as high as $2b, most in the $1m to $100m range, and, for a few, the most tragic of circumstances involving a fatality or other crisis event with reputations of corporates and senior officers for prioritising safety and responding swiftly and responsibly to a crisis in line with community expectations hanging in the balance. • Independent, agile, and committed to a strong set of values*. • A reputation and work environment to attract, encourage and support great talent to perform at their best. • Rare and relevant ‘intelligence’ - Deep understanding of the unique economic, geographical, and political environments in which projects are undertaken in WA, and many of the people who are or might become significantly involved in a matter. • More flexibility around who we act for and how matters are handled. • Latest technology and able to keep up to date, and ahead of the pack, with developments for improving performance. • Less likely to have a ‘conflict’ and, if another party engages us first or there would otherwise be a conflict, you will know about it quickly. • Not seeking to be on anyone’s panel. McComish Legal was founded and formed through 2020/21 by Stephen McComish, during a period of dramatic change in geopolitics, and in the way the world trades, operates and communicates because of COVID 19. External experts, suppliers and contractors, and Rachel Taweel (Lawyer) and Eu-Min Teng (Special Counsel) were invaluable in reimagining and creating (rather than adapting) a firm most suited to ‘the new way’ of working.
