There are dozens of statutes which affect the rights of consumers of goods and services. While many of these statutes are specific to the particular goods or services concerned (for instance, financial services) there is also a considerable body of law with a more general application. We have a specialist consumer law knowledge to advise on these and all other aspects of consumer law. We advise both individuals and commercial clients on their rights and responsibilities under various consumer legislation. For the latter, this frequently includes:
- consumer protection regulation

- trade practices (unsolicited goods and services, door to door sales etc)
- consumer litigation, class actions
