Carolyn Vigar

Principal
Tanom Legal

I enjoy working with my clients to develop regulatory and commercial strategies for responsive government at all levels, and the effective delivery of public services and public sector projects. My aim is to ensure that my clients are supported to deliver public services and projects in a manner which is accountable, commercial and meets public policy aims. To achieve this, I have worked closely with clients to develop policies and procedures for corporate governance, commercial operations and the exercise of regulatory powers.

I have advised local, state and federal governments for 20 years on governance and regulatory issues, the delivery of public services, public sector amalgamations, regulatory design and implementation and major infrastructure projects (including water infrastructure, precinct-wide trigeneration, roads, hospitals, ports and prisons).
