Government

Terri Janke and Company is committed to supporting our Government clients—local, state, and Commonwealth—across a wide range of legal and consulting matters. We work with departments and agencies to strengthen their services for First Nations peoples, ensuring culturally informed and effective outcomes.

 

Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. We partner with government to drive meaningful change that positively impacts communities.

 

As members of the Whole of Australian Government Legal Panel and the Queensland Government Legal Panel, we bring extensive sector expertise. Our team understands the public sector, with Senior Solicitor Emma Fitch bringing direct experience as a former Commonwealth Government lawyer.

 

With trusted leadership and cultural insight, we deliver solutions that make a difference.
