My areas of particular interest include energy transition, evolving markets for hydrogen, and sustainable business projects. My longstanding clients include power generators, resource companies, water service providers, service contractors and governments.

As Managing Partner International, I oversee MinterEllison's international markets strategy and its engagement with foreign firms and networks, with a focus on maximising opportunities from the flow of international trade and investment into and across the Asia-Pacific region.
