Our core litigation team advise and represent public officials, corporations and prominent individuals called to appear at public and private inquiries and Royal Commissions.
People summonsed to appear before commissions, inquiries and inquests often find themselves thrust into the public limelight aimed at exposing larger systematic wrong-doing, corruption and significant policy failures.
There’s an array of challenges to overcome. Including being forced to surrender personal and professional records, and being subjected to lengthy questioning into your work and private life.
Our lawyers have advised and represented clients in some of the most highly publicised public inquiries, investigations and special commissions. Our extensive litigation experience has armed us with the insight to protect our clients and their reputation.
Our ‘end-in-mind’ approach means the advice, strategies and representation we provide are all aimed at safeguarding you through what we foresee as the expected outcomes, and minimising the potential for adverse finding being made against you.
We advise and represent clients summonsed to all forms of commissions and inquiries.
