Regulation and Compliance
Government and regulator oversight is continuing to increase. Now, almost every industry and occupation has some degree of oversight, monitoring and enforcement by a State or Federal Regulator.
At Reinke Lawyers, we have deep roots in the regulatory field.
Our principal has been involved with various regulatory systems since he first commenced employment in the legal sector. As a solicitor, Zac has assisted numerous individuals and Companies that have been the subject of investigations or enforcement action by a regulator. This has recently included (among others):
investigations and prosecutions being undertaken by Work Health and Safety Queensland,
investigations and prosecutions undertaken by the Brisbane City Council in relation to Food Act and Food Safety obligations;
investigations by Australian Border Force;
investigations by Queensland Labour Hire; and
enforcement action by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator.
Our experience goes beyond merely identifying risks - although we can assist you with that too. Instead, we focus on providing with you with comprehensive advice and realistic solutions to regulator action.
Often times, the advice and representation which occurs at the investigation stage of a matter can lead to a substantially different outcome. It is therefore crucial that you do not delay engaging a lawyer if you, or your company, has received correspondence or notification from a regulator.
