Reliable and Effective Legal Advice
and Consultancy Services

Weir Legal and Consulting was established by Bronwyn Weir. Bronwyn has practised for over 20 years representing government regulators and individuals facing regulatory actions. She has a strong reputation in providing compliance and enforcement advice and helping regulators enhance their regulatory practices.

Regulators are expected to deliver effective regulatory practice through risk-based, proportionate approaches. These expectations can come in the form of Ministerial Statements of Expectations and Department or government led regulatory practice frameworks such as the Commonwealth’s Regulator Performance Framework. Contemporary regulatory practice calls for sophisticated, intelligence led decision making and proactive, strategic planning to manage risk and identify emerging risks.

Bronwyn understands these expectations and has worked with regulators to achieve their aspirations as effective, consistent and transparent regulators. She brings to this work, decades of experience in the operational practices of regulators enabling her to understand the strengths, weakness and challenges faced by regulators on a day to day basis.

Weir Legal and Consulting can advise on legal matters concerning regulation and enforcement and consult on practice, policy and procedure enhancement. We can act for government but also advise regulated entities and private individuals on regulatory matters.
