Administrative Law & Government
Simon’s career has provided wide-ranging experience in administrative law, advising government officers and Ministers on decision-making processes and challenges to decisions, as well as legislative interpretation and enforcement generally. This experience has involved a wide range of legislation, from liquor licensing, land titles and property, to animal and plant related legislation.
