Holding Redlich acts for and advises Australian Government entities through our appointment to five areas of law of the Whole of Australian Government Legal Services Panel.
Our Australian Government clients benefit from Holding Redlich’s national presence and depth and breadth of expertise.
Australian Government departments and agencies require a law firm that not only has a detailed understanding of the Commonwealth law framework that applies to decision-making and the additional regulation they are subject to, but also appreciates the Australian Government’s priorities, objectives and the political environment in which agencies operate.
Holding Redlich’s dedicated national Government Law team has the knowledge and understanding to meet these requirements. Our team comprises senior lawyers, many of whom have previously worked in senior roles within the Australian Government or have held public sector board positions, and with expertise across a range of practice areas.
Holding Redlich’s lawyers also bring expertise in acting for private sector entities. The fact that we have acted on “both sides” means that we bring a balanced view to advising our Australian Government clients. We are also highly skilled in being able to anticipate the counterparty’s response, provide advice on approaches that may be taken, and design strategies to resolve and streamline processes.
Our ability to successfully service the Australian Government is evidenced by our appointment to a range of Australian Government panels and sub-panels, in addition to the Whole of Australian Government legal services panel.

Increasing demand for legal services spanning a broad range of Australian government agencies and departments led the firm to establish a Canberra office on 5 October 2021. Holding Redlich’s Canberra team comprises partners and senior lawyers who have invaluable direct experience within government, including leading the legal teams of government agencies. They bring an in-depth understanding of the needs of Australian Government clients, as well as the unique context in which they operate. Our Canberra Government Law practice forms part of the firm’s national Government Law practice, an experienced team of senior lawyers providing a range of legal services across all of our offices.
