Services we offer
Experience
Over the past 10+ years, our lawyers have undertaken hundreds of legal secondments across the Commonwealth, ranging from short-term to multi-year commitments across administrative law, litigation, commercial law, coronial, WHS and information law.
We’re able to meet the Commonwealth’s needs, whether that’s by providing senior expertise on sensitive or significant issues or tapping into our deep pool of trusted talent to offer surge solutions, including at the paralegal level. Our partnership approach extends to supporting capability uplift within government teams by readily sharing our knowledge and tools. We are also industry-recognised (Government Team of the Year 2022 and 2017, Australian Law Awards as our 2025 acquired firm, Proximity).
We are passionate about working alongside – or embedded in – government teams. This is what SPA Australia is known for and why our lawyers choose to work with us. Many of our lawyers have held senior positions in highly regarded government teams and private practice, including as General Counsel and Principal Legal Officers.
All 50+ lawyers on our team are security cleared, some to the highest levels. SPA Australia also has Zone 4 secure facilities in Canberra, is a Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) member and has an Essential Eight Level Two maturity rating. These reflect our strong cyber security stance. As a government-first organisation, we also don’t run up against conflicts like some of our competitors do.
