Kreisson

What Kreisson does

Kreisson is a Sydney-based specialist law firm focused exclusively on construction and engineering law, serving principals, contractors, subcontractors, property developers, and engineers across Australia and internationally. Founded in 2005 and celebrating 20 years of practice, the firm delivers legal services across the full project lifecycle — pre-contract (contract preparation, negotiation, review, and risk analysis), contract delivery (contract administration, claim preparation and defence, dispute resolution), and post-contract (litigation, mediation, arbitration, Security of Payment claims, delay and cost escalation claims, professional negligence, and WHS matters). Its core sector coverage spans Building & Construction, Infrastructure Projects, Engineering, and Energy & Environment, with a particular emphasis on NSW-specific regulatory regimes such as the Building Bill reforms, the Design and Building Practitioners Act, the Home Building Act, and SOPA.

The firm's product surface combines traditional legal advisory services with a set of productized offerings and content assets: the 'Claims Desk' fixed-fee on-demand legal solution; dedicated knowledge hubs for the Pafburn decision and renewable energy projects; 'The Pulse' sector-intelligence blog; an Insights publication hub; and a library of eBooks, webinars, and podcasts authored by its lawyers. Kreisson does not develop proprietary technology products; it operates as a professional services firm and uses enterprise-grade AI platforms to assist lawyers with legal-precedent research, evidence retrieval, and drafting, with contractual safeguards preventing client-data training.

Revenue is generated through professional fees, billed on an hourly basis or fixed-fee arrangements such as Claims Desk, across the firm's primary customer segments of principals, contractors, and property developers, with engineers and renewable energy sector participants as secondary segments. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, driven by direct client engagement from its Sydney CBD headquarters at Level 37, 25 Martin Place, supplemented by content marketing, industry-body memberships and referrals across peak bodies including Master Builders NSW, Society of Construction Law Australia, CCF, and The Law Society of NSW. Kreisson is privately held (Kreisson Legal Pty Limited), headquartered in New South Wales, Australia, and independently operated with no parent company or external investment disclosed.
