We draw on our principal’s experience of acting in some of Australia’s most contentious and important public inquiries, royal commissions and test case litigation. These include:

  • Several major law reform inquiries into secrecy laws and press freedom
  • Several inquiries and royal commissions investigating Crown Limited with direct responsibility for the representation of James Packer
  • The inquiry into misconduct within the NSW Returned and Services League
  • A large number of ASIC investigations, with a key focus on financial services.

Our principal has also acted in some of the most important test case litigation dealing with the powers of major investigatory bodies and law enforcement.
