It is based on extensive interviews with lobbyists in Canberra and legal professional bodies. The article begins by establishing the unique nature of law firm lobbuing. In particular, it looks at the technical skills law firm lobbyists possess, their access to specialist legal knowledge and their preference for administrative, over political, lobbying.

The article concludes by suggesting that law firm lobbyung both reflects and stimulates changes in government decision-making and will grow in importance as the legal profession in Canberra grows
