Jordan Oldham

Jordan is an experienced infrastructure and projects lawyer.  He advises a range of private and public sector clients on all phases of a project’s lifecycle from procurement, through construction and into operation.

An infrastructure projects specialist, Jordan advises central and local Government on some of New Zealand’s largest and most critical infrastructure projects and reform programmes, including the Auckland Light Rail and City Rail Link Projects.  Jordan also advises the Department for Internal Affairs on the Three Waters Reform Programme, one of the most significant reform programmes introduced in recent years.

Jordan advises a range of private and public sector clients on procurement and construction-related matters (including local councils, civils contractors and aged care / retirement village operators).

Clients value Jordan’s wealth of experience in the infrastructure sector.  Prior to retuning to New Zealand, Jordan worked in London where he expanded his experience with both private practice (Stephenson Harwood LLP) and in-house (Arriva Group) roles in the transport sector.  He has advised on a range of different contracting forms, structures and risk-sharing arrangements in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Jordan is respected and trusted by clients who value his guidance and advice.  He is driven to provide excellent advice to clients that is clear and concise, legally astute, and ultimately commercially pragmatic.

Taking an active interest in mentoring junior lawyers, Jordan lectures as part of the Construction Law paper at the University of Auckland Law School and the Law for Construction Management paper as part of the Master of Construction Management programme at the Auckland University of Technology.  He also runs training sessions for clients focusing on New Zealand’s suite of construction contracts.
