Curran will join Beale & Co's Contracts and Projects Advisory team, advising clients on front-end project matters including contract reviews and tender checks, contract formation and project procurement, tender procedures and competitions, negotiation and conclusion of contract documents, joint ventures and contractual entitlements, project variations and dispute avoidance.

His clients have included contractors, consultants, developers, investors, funders, non-bank lenders and end-users.
