Specialist Counsel Services

WHAT YOU NEED

Companies that maintain an internal legal team or general counsel have the capability to handle their own day to day legal service needs. However, it is not uncommon that for issues of specific and unique nature, or in relation to very particular subject matter, it may be necessary to seek specialist counsel advice. 

We frequently see that issues arise within the following legal areas in which business require some specialist assistance: 

  • Illegal Logging Prohibition Act compliance 
  • Modern Slavery Act compliance 
  • ACCC misleading and deceptive conduct matters specificially relating to sustainability claims 
  • RTO/GTO legal structures and compliance 

Even for very well practiced and skilled general counsel, these issues are often complicated by the way in which they are enforced (as for the ILPA) or require assumed knowledge (such as in the background context and scientific understanding required to assess what is a plausible sustainability claim).

Hikari Solutions can provide the specialist knowledge required, and work side by side with your existing resources to ensure that you attain the best results in dealing with matters under these banners.

 

What we can do

Hikari Solutions can provide advisory assistance, whether to your leadership teams, or your in-house counsel, in relation to these specialist areas of legal practice.
