My extensive experience spans advising and representing clients in a range of medical negligence claims, vocational disciplinary matters and in coronial inquests. I am highly regarded for my expertise in the defence of medical negligence claims and disciplinary proceedings. My practice includes representing clients in complex vocational regulation disputes, coronial inquests and various other legal matters involving health care providers. My commitment to providing practical, tailored solutions has earned me a reputation for excellence in the field.

In addition to my litigation work, I also provide strategic advice to clients in the health care sector, helping them navigate the complexities of medical malpractice and professional regulation. My goal is to deliver responsive, outcome-focused legal services that meet the unique needs of each client.
