Holding Redlich expands corporate and construction capabilities with three new partners

12 May 25– Media Release

National law firm Holding Redlich announces the appointment of three new partners across its Melbourne and Brisbane offices, growing its national capabilities in corporate transactions, construction and infrastructure projects and disputes.

In Melbourne, Ben Constance joins as a corporate partner and Dado Hrustanpasic as a construction partner with a focus on major projects and infrastructure disputes. Jonathan Usher joins the Brisbane office as a construction partner, specialising in infrastructure projects, property development and structured finance.

“Ben, Dado and Jonathan bring a wealth of experience and knowledge that complements and adds to our current strengths and expertise,” said Holding Redlich’s National Managing Partner, Troy Lewis. “These appointments reflect our ongoing strategy to grow our transactional and disputes capabilities in key sectors, and our commitment to investing in practitioners with technical excellence and deep industry knowledge.”

Ben brings more than 20 years of international experience in cross-border M&A, private equity and complex commercial transactions. He joins from Petra Group, where he was General Counsel overseeing legal functions across a diverse portfolio spanning construction, film and media, agriculture, renewables, hospitality, technology and property.

Ben’s practice will focus on private equity-related transactions, joint ventures and cross-border investments. His prior advisory roles include senior management and board-level advice on private company transactions and capital market deals across Australia, United States, Asia and the Middle East.

“I’m pleased to be working with the Holding Redlich team to support clients through complex deals and growth opportunities, particularly in the private equity space,” said Ben.

Dado joins the firm’s construction, infrastructure & projects team, bringing nearly 15 years of experience in major projects and infrastructure litigation and arbitration. He worked in both private practice and in-house, most recently at Australia’s largest civil infrastructure contractor.

Dual-qualified in law and civil engineering, Dado has extensive experience managing complex, technical disputes involving engineering, construction and technology issues, with a particular focus on the energy and infrastructure sectors.

“Joining a firm with such a strong focus on the construction, renewables and emerging technology sectors is a great opportunity to build a practice that combines technical depth with commercial understanding,” said Dado. “I look forward to contributing to the continued expansion of the practice in Victoria and nationally.”

Jonathan has more than 21 years of experience advising on hotel, residential, commercial, industrial and mixed-use developments, as well as roads, gas, water and power projects across Australia and the Middle East. Specialising in infrastructure and construction projects, property development and structured finance, his expertise includes drafting and advising on EPC, FIDIC, ECI and joint venture agreements, as well as major government and private sector infrastructure contracts.

“Queensland continues to see significant infrastructure investment, particularly as we approach the Brisbane 2032 Olympics,” said Jonathan. “I’m pleased to be joining a team that supports clients at every stage of the project lifecycle, delivering both front-end and back-end services.”
