I have considerable experience advising clients about incident response, the management and allocation of contractual risk, reviewing policies and procedures and conducting workplace training regarding health and safety obligations.

I am an experienced member of our administrative law team, having provided advice to a range of government clients about their decision-making processes. I regularly advise Victorian regulators to assist them to discharge their investigation and complaints functions. I also regularly conduct workplace investigations for a range of both private and government clients. I bring to this work specialist technical knowledge about evidence gathering and sensitive witness management, having previously practised as a solicitor-advocate in criminal and regulatory matters.
