We advise State and Territory Governments and statutory bodies on complex legal, regulatory and risk issues across Australia.
Moray & Agnew has extensive experience acting for State and Territory Governments, statutory authorities, regulators and government business enterprises. Our national team understands the legal, policy and operational challenges facing state government clients and provides practical advice aligned with public sector obligations. We support clients across routine matters to complex disputes, delivering consistent service and clear outcomes.
Our experience
Lawyers in our State Government teams have experience across:
- Government and administrative law
- All classes of insurance law
- Personal injury and liability law
- Employment law, including workplace health and safety matters
- Litigation, including dispute resolution and model litigant obligations
- Planning and environment
- Property and development
- Commercial law
- Construction law
- Coronial inquiries.
We support State Government departments and agencies to meet statutory and regulatory requirements, manage reporting obligations, and deal fairly and transparently with all stakeholders and interest groups. Our advice is focused on achieving appropriate commercial outcomes while delivering value‑for‑money legal services. We take a considered approach to the ongoing management of legal, reputational and financial risk, including the careful control of costs and the avoidance of actual or perceived conflicts of interest.
The obligations of those acting for State Government are embedded in what we do and how we conduct ourselves as representatives which is much more than acting as a Model Litigant.
How we support State Government clients
We work alongside government clients to deliver reliable, efficient and consistent legal services that align with their operating, ethical and policy frameworks.
We support government by building trusted, long‑term working relationships, embedding collaborative teams, and aligning our business and professional practices with public sector values, including diversity, equity and transparency. We actively invest in capability‑building through training, secondments and reverse secondments, supporting knowledge transfer and continuity.
With national scale and centrally coordinated delivery, our clients benefit from experienced leadership, strong infrastructure and dependable performance, ensuring matters are managed consistently and effectively across jurisdictions and portfolios.
