Our lawyers are experienced in assisting clients in complex matters including the procurement and maintenance of key infrastructure and materiel, acting in sensitive and high-profile investigations, inquiries and disputes, commercial negotiations and contracting, issues arising from land acquisition, disposal and ownership, employment and safety-related issues and the delivery of technology programs to allow our government clients to deliver their services.

CLA is a consultancy founded at the intersection of law, public policy and politics, together we deliver strategic political and reputational risk consulting, public policy solutions and advocacy, compliance and integrity services, and crisis management advice.
