Who we are

Researchers. Advisors.

Facilitators. Trainers.

Our team has decades of experience researching, developing and advising on the regulation of natural resources and the environment.

We hold valuable practical knowledge about the process of policy-making acquired during many years working in government, legal practice and in leading Australian and international universities.

We represent experience in international natural resources and environmental policy development and regulation, particularly in Australia, New Zealand, South America, Europe, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region.
