Services to Government

As a member of the Queensland State Government’s Prosecutions and Advocacy panel, Gilshenan & Luton offers a range of services to government departments and related entities, including:

• the conduct of regulatory prosecutions;
• advice on internal investigations, and the prospects of potential prosecutions;
• independent workplace investigations (with reporting in compliance with CCC protocols);
• advice and representation for elected officials and senior public servants in responding to workplace investigations;
• representation in coronial inquests and commissions of inquiry.

We also have significant expertise in local government matters; assisting councillors and council staff in respect to investigations by both the Crime and Corruption Commission and the Office of the Independent Assessor. We advise councils and elected officials on matters of governance and probity and responding to allegations and charges of inappropriate conduct, misconduct, and criminal behaviour.

With expertise in both criminal law and professional misconduct, Gilshenan & Luton is well placed to assist government agencies and officials. We understand the unique requirements and perspective of government, and the approach necessary in cases which involve the scrutiny of public sector conduct.
