What We Do

Security of Payment Act

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act  1999 (“Security of Payment Act”) is a law that allows persons who perform construction work, or supply related goods or services, to collect the payment they’re owed, when due. Our team of Specialist Security of Payment Lawyers in Sydney can you help you recover payment via the NSW Security of Payment Act.

Payment Claim

The first step in recovering progress payments under the Building and Construction Industry Payments Act NSW is the preparation and service of a valid payment claim. You need not concern yourself with nitty gritty details, or burden yourself with paperwork, because we can do all that for you – so you can have time for more enjoyable pursuits.

Payment Schedule

That period between serving your payment claim and waiting to see what happens next can be nerve-wracking. That’s why we let you in on what to expect in the interim, and what to do if and when you receive a payment schedule, under the New South Wales Security of Payment Act.

Security of Payment Adjudication

If:

  • you don’t receive a payment schedule,
  • or are unhappy with the scheduled amount, or
  • you still remain unpaid,

our specialist lawyers can help you lodge an adjudication application and assist you throughout the entire adjudication proceedings.

Litigation

Should you opt to commence enforcement proceedings (instead of adjudication), we will help you file a collection case in court, prepare all necessary documents and paperwork, and provide legal representation. We help enforce your rights under the Security of Payment Act 2019 in court.

Other Modes of Enforcement

Under the Security of Payment legislation NSW,  you have another option for enforcing your claim, apart from adjudication and litigation. We can help you make an informed decision, and help you elect the optimum choice for your particular circumstance.

Why Hire a SOPA Lawyer

A SOPA lawyer handles matters involving the NSW Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act everyday, and has most likely handled a SOPA Act NSW matter similar to yours.

A NSW SOPA Act lawyer is aware of the Security of Payment Act NSW timeframes, so you can be assured of efficient results and a quick turnaround, with no delays.
While anyone can certainly try and recover progress payments on their own, the end result would normally be: spending more money, time, and energy, than if you let a specialist Security of Payment lawyer do it.
On the other hand, engaging a debt collection agency as opposed to a specialist lawyer entails a hefty financial burden, with little to no benefit other than the mere hope of getting actual results. 
Now, engaging a lawyer obviously does not come without costs, but the benefits certainly outweigh them. Moreso if the need for enforcement via adjudication or litigation arises.
If you are struggling to get the payment you rightfully deserve, engaging a specialist Security of Payment Lawyer would be the wise choice.
At Contracts Specialist, we cushion the financial blow you would otherwise experience with other firms, with our free first consultation and fixed fee options.
Invest in a specialist NSW Payment Act lawyer to help you recover payment. Reach out to us if you need help with enforcing or defending your rights under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act NSW.
