Our Experience

Proximity is a leading provider of corporate and commercial law, procurement, ICT and probity services to government. Our team is industry-recognised (winner 2022 and 2017 Government Team of the Year Award), technically excellent, strategic, practical, and easy to work with. We combine big picture commercial law strategy with attention to detail. We know government needs reliable, timely advice that considers policy, public and political sensitivities – all delivered with the highest discretion. We understand the legislative, regulatory and policy framework, including the PGPA Act, the CPRs, and the Commonwealth Grant Rules and Guidelines.

Many of our lawyers have held senior positions, including as General Counsel and Principal Legal Officers. All hold security clearances and some hold the highest security clearances.
