Government

Working together towards a more sustainable and resilient Australia. We partner with government to navigate complex issues and drive purposeful change.

How we can help

At the intersection between public policy and society, governments face unique challenges. With increasing demands for transparency, data-driven decision-making and cyber security risk management, technology holds the key to transforming public sector operations. It can unlock access to services, bolster pivotal infrastructure including defence, health, energy, transport and education and respond to budget tightening.

We partner with all levels of government to provide sustainable and economically responsible outcomes for society with a focus on value for money. With extensive experience collaborating with government, we understand your decision-making processes, risk management, governance and assurance frameworks.

Our expertise spans a range of areas, including litigation and dispute resolution, commissions and inquiries, major technology procurements, privatisation and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) transactions, infrastructure and construction projects. We also advise on public law matters, including constitutional and administrative law issues and the design and implementation of regulatory schemes.
