Tom provides strategic advice to contractors on delay, payment and other construction-related issues on infrastructure and energy projects throughout Australia. Tom leads the firm’s adjudication practice in Australia and is the Head of Construction, Advisory and Disputes for Australia.
Tom provides first-class advice and has managed for me numerous high-value infrastructure disputes (including adjudications, court proceedings and arbitrations), with clear and well-communicated strategies that enabled excellent outcomes to be achieved. Tom’s greatest quality is simply his ability to get the job done, drawing on his knowledge of construction disputes and, in particular, his second-to-none knowledge of security of payment law.

One of the most valuable things was Tom's insight into the procedure around arbitration. Also his understanding of the personalities involved. They were really willing to share their experience and equally with the recommendation of experts and things such as that which is what I really valued.
General Manager – Legal
- Australian infrastructure services company
They came up with solutions that we had not thought of, and they were proactive on many things. I thought that Tom Heading was a very keen process lawyer, but also good strategy-wise. He knew how to approach a client, not just strictly from a legal perspective; to have a strategy to annoy the opponent without enraging them.
