I regularly advise in relation to disputes between shareholders, and in relation to breaches of, and disputes arising from, contracts for supplying goods and services, particularly IT services. My expertise extends to cross-border transactions, including matters involving the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods to international supply contracts.

I also have considerable experience in international arbitration, and am on the board of ACICA, the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration.
