State Government NSW

A proven partner for New South Wales Government

With genuine understanding of, and experience in, navigating the complexities of State Government operations, McCullough Robertson has built lasting relationships as trusted legal advisers to the NSW Government.

Appointed to the NSW Government Legal Services Panel, we offer a dedicated full-service specialist government practice in all areas of law, delivering quality, timely, and cost-effective solutions and strategy for the State and its agencies. Our local expertise enables us to effectively support government departments, statutory bodies, and government-owned corporations in delivering critical projects and services across the State, while actively participating in all regions and communities within it.

We understand the intricacies of NSW Government’s highly regulated environment and provide strategic, actionable advice that addresses both legal and broader policy considerations.

Our experience advising the NSW Government spans all key areas including public sector employment law, public and administrative law, regulatory compliance and prosecutions, workplace health and safety (WHS), construction law, property, and planning and environmental law, ensuring comprehensive support to government initiatives.

Practical solutions, focused on stakeholder interests for mutually beneficial outcomes

Our team of government lawyers brings a deep understanding of policy drivers and a collaborative, whole-of-Government approach to every project. Many of our lawyers have worked directly within the NSW Government, whether on secondment or as former in-house government lawyers, providing valuable insight into government operations and helping to manage stakeholder interests effectively.

Committed to supporting economic growth and community resilience

In the past year, we have contributed over $2 million in pro bono work to Australian organisations, with 20% of our efforts focused on Diversity and Inclusion initiatives. By aligning with the values and goals of the NSW Government, we provide legal solutions that not only support economic growth and infrastructure development but also foster community resilience and sustainability.
