I provide a wide range of legal services.

I strive to help clients with clear, commercially focused advice across all their legal requirements.

I am open, honest and fearless. I am an astute, business savvy strategic thinker who is willing and able to think laterally to deliver fresh solutions for clients and their businesses.

I listen to my clients and respond in plain language. I focus on how best to achieve commercial results in a timely and cost-effective manner.   This in turn, adds to my clients’ competitive edge in their marketplace.

I work collaboratively with my clients, my wider team and other advisors to achieve shared objectives.

I am committed to understanding your business, your goals and what success means to you.

I specialise in providing solutions in the following areas:

• Corporate and commercial including acquisitions, mergers, restructures, start-ups
• Property including residential, commercial, rural and developments
• Employment including employment agreements, restructuring your business, employee share schemes or personal grievances

I am excited by the role I play in the community and believe that this experience and network enables me to better serve the needs of local businesses and clients.
