ADVOCACY
AGS has experienced specialist advocates throughout Australia.
They regularly represent clients in courts and tribunals
in a wide range of matters such as:
- appeals and interventions in the High Court of Australia
- appeals in Federal and State courts and tribunals
- trial work in Federal and State courts and tribunals
- appearances and interlocutory hearings in all those
jurisdictions.
Our advocates are expert in preparing and presenting material
to support clients’ cases to courts and tribunals.
They are generally involved with their instructing lawyers
in preparing the case before appearing as advocate. They
work with clients and instructing lawyers to achieve the
best possible result, consistent with public policy and
accountability requirements.
Many of our clients prefer to brief AGS in-house advocates
as an alternative to briefing counsel from the private
bar. This is because our in-house advocates have special
knowledge or expertise in a particular area of law, or
they may know a client’s business intimately and
have worked closely with them over a long period of time.
We also offer a counsel-only service—our advocate
or in-house counsel instructed by your lawyer.
Also see Dispute resolution and litigation and Alternative dispute
resolution.
