Standing instructions
Solicitor services
Standing instructions from federal institutions and private companies for the ordinary, continuous work of a solicitor: filings, contracts, opinions and the questions that arrive by telephone.
Advocacy
Appearances at trial and on appeal for governmental and private organisations, in civil, criminal, election and revenue matters.
Legal consultancy and research
Consultancy and research instructions supported by the chambers' library and information technology facilities, where the client needs the law established rather than argued.
Strategic drafting
Contract and conveyance drafting on transactions where the document, not the dispute, is the deliverable — and where it will be read years later by someone looking for a gap.
