Clifford Gouldson has a growing reputation for providing high quality legal advice and services to local government.
In particular, we provide a specialised approach that is not often found in law firms outside capital cities.
Our expertise for local government ranges across workplace relations, litigation, construction, privacy and intellectual property.
We provide a genuine “regional” legal alternative for the public sector seeking assistance in these areas of law.
We have considerable experience, over many years, advising Toowoomba Regional Council – one of Queensland’s largest councils.
The range of local government legal issues dealt with by Clifford Gouldson include:
- complex employment relations matters impacting on service delivery of local government portfolios
- advising on the meaning of and implementation of legislation impacting on local government
- directly advising Councillors about Council’s legal rights and obligations
- property matters including easements
- litigation relating to Council enforcement
We are an established member of the LocalBuy panel so that Councils are able to engage us easily and quickly with the confidence that our experience has been reviewed and approved by this panel process.
Priority approach
We consider the development of our local government practice to be a high priority for our firm and as such provide flexible fee and matter management options. We are also strongly committed to investing our time and money in developing strong relationships with local government so that they can easily access a law firm that understands regional issues.
