Overview
However well a matter may be managed, disputes can and will occur between business and government.

Our regulatory and government affairs lawyers have particular experience in administrative law, involving the challenging of government decisions in tribunals and courts. Before recommending formal legal action, we will always attempt alternative means of resolution involving direct negotiation, mediation or arbitration, if this appears to be the most appropriate course of action after consultation with our client.

Our ability to litigate the substantive legal issues involved in government regulation, complements the regular legal and strategic advice we provide our clients.

Our litigators are highly experienced in determining the best course of action for a company in conflict with government, and from there, how to best represent the company's interests throughout the conflict resolution process.

Whether the conflict is related to contractual disputes, tendering problems (an area where we have accumulated extensive experience in some of the most important tendering - related cases ever run in Australia), compliance with Australian regulation or general government relations, our comprehensive practical experience and knowledge of government affairs will ensure the best possible protection of your business.
