Holding Redlich has scored a significant coup for its construction team, having lured DLA Phillips Fox veteran Chris Edquist to the firm.

Edquist was at DLA Phillips Fox for 30 years, including as a partner for more than 25 years. He held various senior positions with the firm, cumulating in the role of practice group leader of property, infrastructure and development.

He joins Holding Redlich as a senior partner in its construction and infrastructure team in Melbourne. His services range across tenders, development agreements, consultant agreements, building contracts as well as a broad range of dispute resolution processes.

His experience includes acting for the Victorian Government on projects such as Federation Square, the Australian Synchrotron project and the new Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
