Administrative and Public Law

Our administrative and public law expertise

Government decision making can be unpredictable and can have significant personal and commercial consequences for individuals and businesses. We can help you navigate your dealings with government bodies and, should it become necessary, can assist in challenging decisions made by government bodies and responsible ministers.

  • We act for individuals and organisations to assist them in their dealings with the Australian Government. We act in applications for merits and judicial review of administrative decisions, with specialist expertise in the review of decisions including:

    • Banning and disciplining directors and officers

    • Banning and disciplining representatives of financial services licensees

    • Migration and citizenship

    • Foreign Investment Review Board decisions

  • We assist individuals and corporations to ensure transactions and business operations comply with the Australian Government’s sanctions regime.  We provide advice on sanctions compliance risks and assist our clients in their dealings with the Sanctions Office of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
