Experience
We are a leading provider of corporate and commercial law, procurement, ICT and probity services to government. Proximity, a firm we acquired in 2025, won the 2022 and 2017 Government Team of the Year at the Australian Law Awards. We are also technically excellent, strategic, practical, and easy to work with. We combine big picture commercial law strategy with attention to detail. We understand the legislative, regulatory and policy framework, including the PGPA Act, the CPRs, and the Commonwealth Grant Rules and Guidelines.
Many of our lawyers have held senior positions, including as General Counsel and Principal Legal Officers. All hold security clearances and some hold the highest security clearances.
