I have over 30 years expe­ri­ence as a lit­i­ga­tor, with exper­tise in finan­cial and par­ent­ing aspects of Fam­i­ly Law. I find that the best out­comes are achieved by work­ing in part­ner­ship with my clients.

I enjoy build­ing rela­tion­ships, offer­ing strate­gic direc­tion and help­ing my clients find a prac­ti­cal path­way for a bet­ter outcome.

Expe­ri­ence

I draw on my back­ground in com­mer­cial and gen­er­al lit­i­ga­tion, equi­table dis­putes and years of expe­ri­ence as a nego­tia­tor. Fam­i­ly Law is mul­ti-dis­ci­pli­nary; incor­po­rat­ing many dif­fer­ent aspects of the Law (Prop­er­ty, Com­mer­cial, Trusts and Estates), finan­cial struc­tures and of course, rela­tion­ships. A one-dimen­sion­al approach just won’t work. My expe­ri­ence includes:

  • Prop­er­ty settlements
  • Main­te­nance disputes
  • Child sup­port
  • Inter­na­tion­al finan­cial disputes
  • Divorce
  • Par­ent­ing disputes
  • Fam­i­ly pro­vi­sions estate litigation

Roles, mem­ber­ships and education

  • Bach­e­lor of Law, Uni­ver­si­ty of Sydney
  • Bach­e­lor of Eco­nom­ics, Uni­ver­si­ty of Sydney
  • Pre­sen­ter at the State Legal Con­fer­ence and var­i­ous com­mu­ni­ty forums.
