The Freehills team worked with Echo Entertainment for more than five years and was led by partner David Templeman, along with partners and solicitors from a range of disciplines including construction, property, insurance and intellectual property.

The team advised on structuring, appointment of consultants, a series of tender and procurement processes and property issues.

"An unusual feature on The Star was the need to keep the business operational - not just during business hours but 24 / 7 - while very major construction work was undertaken on the site," said Templeman. "This required a bespoke contractual regime that set appropriate rules for the contractor, but also incentivised the contractor to minimise disturbance to the business."
