I am focused on providing targeted advice to my clients, by developing deep relationships with clients and gaining an understanding of their business and the demands of their stakeholders. I work with both private and public sector clients across a broad range of industries.

I have experience in a wide range of workplace relations matters, including enterprise agreement negotiations and strategy, employee entitlement reviews and remediations, organisational restructures, termination claims and difficult employee separations. I frequently represent clients in employment and industrial relations matters before a range of Commissions, Tribunals and Courts in both the State and Federal system.
