About Us
My 30-year experience working on projects around the globe has convinced me that law firms needed to change. It is this belief that Reilly IDR is founded upon.

Brendan Reilly
PrincipalHe is recommended as a leading construction lawyer by The Legal 500 Asia Pacific (since 2015), Best Lawyers (since 2017) and Doyle’s Guide (since 2015). He is also recommended as a leading disputes lawyer by The Legal 500 Asia Pacific (since 2018).
He has extensive experience drafting and negotiating complex contracts for projects in Australia, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
He assists clients develop and implement commercial strategies to control time and cost during major projects.
He has acted for a diverse range of international and domestic clients, including government, private and publicly listed companies.
He has more than 20 years’ experience resolving international disputes, appearing for parties in court, mediation and arbitration proceedings, including those involving ICC, HKIAC, SIAC, CIETAC and UNCITRAL arbitral rules. A former Chief Corporate Counsel for a major Australian resources company, Brendan’s particular expertise in major mining, oil and gas and infrastructure projects sees him regularly sought after to advise on high-profile, complex disputes and arbitrations.
Clients include both owners and contractors on projects in Australia, Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa, China and Southeast Asia. They value his comprehensive project experience and the strategic edge that it provides when entering into significant “bet-the-company” disputes and arbitrations. Many of Brendan’s matters are settled on terms favourable to his clients, but where settlement through negotiation is not an option, his formidable experience sees his clients well positioned to progress or defend their claim through legal or arbitral proceedings.
