Government

Meridian works with all levels of government, advising on administrative, commercial and dispute resolution matters, and coronial inquests. We understand the imperative of operating efficiently and effectively within the context of government policy objectives and changing public interest concerns.

Among our senior practitioners, we have approximately 30 years of experience acting for local government in a range of litigated matters. We have significant experience advising government departments and statutory authorities including the Department of Health (NSW), VicRoads, Department of Environment and Primary Industries (Victoria), Department of Education (NSW), Treasury Managed Fund (NSW Government’s self-insurance scheme) and Queensland Rail.
