Secure and expand on your success by relying on our team.

Partner with a team holding a deep understanding of the machinery of government and political decision-making. Team members have previously worked in-house for government departments and agencies and come with backgrounds in economics, statistics, data analysis and industry.

Tap into their circles of influence and leverage their roles as advisors to more than 40 major industry associations across a range of industries from financial institutions, mining and energy, taxation, property development, construction and infrastructure, planning and environment, aged care, licensing and hospitality, governance and intellectual property.

Benefit from our long-standing relationships with policy makers—built through our active involvement in these industry associations, submissions on law reform, regular conference speaking, ongoing participation in think tanks, forums, standing committees and task forces and regular publications.

Where the questionable “reform” has proceeded, rely on our insight into the impact of new policy and regulatory initiatives and our ability to represent your interests in administrative tribunals and the courts.

Supported by our global government affairs team, we can represent your position in foreign jurisdictions and access insights into the regulatory agendas of foreign governments.
