Practice Area 01
Constitutional Law
Challenges to legislation and state action, enforcement of fundamental and constitutional rights, and representation in matters of public importance before the High Court and the Supreme Court.
The Practice
Constitutional practice concerns the relationship between the citizen and the State. The chamber advises and represents individuals, organisations and authorities on questions of fundamental rights, federal balance and the limits of state power.
Matters range from focused challenges to a single order to questions of wider public importance. Each is prepared with attention to the constitutional text, precedent and the practical relief available.

- Enforcement of fundamental rights (Articles 32 & 226)
- Challenges to legislation, notifications & orders
- Service & service-constitutional matters
- Public-interest and representative proceedings
