Strategic legal advice for a safe and healthy environment.

Australian Environmental Lawyers working for a clean environment where the rights of people and nature are protected.

We manage legal strategy, litigation, law reform and advice work for a wide range of clients and issues, including mining law, planning and environmental law, public and administrative law, water law, climate change and energy law, culture and heritage law, corporate and consumer law, constitutional law, civil law, and access to government information.

  • Legal Advice

    When the rights of people or nature are threatened, a strong understanding of the law is critical to good decision-making. We provide expert legal advice and representation on a wide range of legal frameworks to deliver just outcomes for people and nature.

  • Legal Strategy

    Understanding how to effectively integrate legal strategy into broader client strategies is critical to achieving successful outcomes. We provide holistic legal advice that analyses the role that legal tools can play in pursuit of a safe and healthy environment.

  • Litigation

    Going to court is expensive and time consuming, and the decision to litigate requires sound strategic advice and representation. Our Principal Lawyer, Elaine Johnson, is one of Australia’s leading climate and environment litigators, with years of experience representing landowners and communities in the courts.

  • Law Reform

    The law is not stagnant, and clean environment and just energy transition will not be achieved without ongoing policy and law reform. We advise clients on how our current legal system can be reformed for the benefit of people and the environment.

Elaine is a leading landowner advocate and environment and climate lawyer with over 17 years post admission practice experience. 

She has extensive experience advising and representing landowners and communities in relation to disputes with the resources industry, and on the development of legal strategies for a safe climate and healthy environment.

Elaine works in pursuit of a rapid and just transition to a low carbon economy, where the rights and interests of people and nature are upheld.
