Simon Munslow is a distinguished barrister and solicitor with a profound dedication to firearms law, a passion he has nurtured since being introduced to the sport as a child. As a lifelong firearms enthusiast and hunter, Simon leverages his extensive legal knowledge to represent clients involved in hunting, target shooting, paintball, and related industries throughout East Coast Australia and Tasmania. His clients range from individuals to businesses such as manufacturers and dealers, who often face challenges from authorities due to Australia's complex firearms legislation. Simon brings over thirty years of legal experience to his practice, which concentrates almost exclusively on firearms matters. His legal journey began with the completion of a major thesis on firearms law at Macquarie University. He further honed his skills during eight years at a leading national litigation firm in western Sydney, dealing with family law, commercial litigation, personal injury, and criminal law. Subsequently, Simon spent a decade as a Senior Lawyer with the Commonwealth Government, handling regulatory law and tribunal appeals. His government tenure also saw him completing a Graduate Certificate in Public Sector Management, aligning coursework with his focus on regulatory law. This background enables Simon to craft compelling arguments that integrate pertinent facts and legislative policies, advancing his clients' interests effectively. Simon has also worked with Legal Aid in NSW, gaining extensive experience in criminal law, which he applies to his firearms-focused practice. His insights into firearms law have made him a recognised authority, frequently quoted in the media, and his writings appear in respected publications like Shooters Journal and Guns & Game. He actively shares his expertise through a blog on Sporting Shooter Magazine's website and his Facebook page, Firearms Lawyer Australia. Committed to advocating for shooters' rights, Simon regularly lobbies the government pro bono. His technical acumen often uncovers prosecution errors, resulting in cases being withdrawn or dismissed. Unlike others who may superficially include firearms law in their repertoire, Simon's practice is deeply rooted in his personal passion for the sport. This unique connection ensures Simon fights with fervour and dedication for each client. Simon Munslow offers a wide range of services, including dealing with breaches of firearms and wildlife protection laws, administrative law issues, licence appeals, and more.
