I am doing my job well for my client when I can avoid litigation, finding a positive outcome without resorting to court action.
My practice is essentially litigation and dispute management specialising in employment law matters and disputes.
I have had over 30 years’ experience in conducting a diverse range of major and complex litigation matters, arbitrations, mediations and conciliations in Courts and Tribunals throughout Australia.
I am regularly rated as a leading Australian litigation practitioner in various legal publications, including being named continuously from 2013 to present in “Best Lawyers in Australia” for litigation, as published in the Australian Financial Review.
