Our experience

From 1985 to 2000, Fiona Yeang practised in London as a front-end construction lawyer with an increasing specialisation in major infrastructure projects and public private partnerships. Fiona advised on procurement and contract strategies for major infrastructure projects in the UK, Asia, the Middle East and India.

 

In 2000 Fiona moved to Australia to join the Brisbane office of a major national law firm,  before forming Yeang Lawyers in 2006.  In Australia she gained a reputation for innovation in water infrastructure projects and relationship contracting, using her overseas experience in those areas to bring a fresh approach to relationship contracting in Australia.
