My practice is principally advisory, and I take pride in my ability to convey complex messages clearly and concisely. I guide clients in business operations, regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, insolvency and debt recovery. Clients value my strong focus on helping them reach their commercial objectives while minimising risk.
