I commenced my legal career in a prestigious boutique commercial firm where we advised a number of high profile individuals (think Kylie Minogue, well her manager at least) as well as a number of very successful business clients and some of Australia's leading commercial theatrical producers.
I have also has acted for both private and publicly listed companies in a range of commercial and corporate matters including corporate structuring, IP protection, terms & conditions drafting, commercial litigation/dispute resolution and the development of commercialisation of intellectual property.

I am regularly invited to speak at a number of industry seminars and conferences, which can be fun as well as educational.
So trust me, I am a lawyer ...
