My practice spans regulatory compliance and disputes, administrative and public law, banking and finance litigation and insolvency and restructuring. In my broader practice, I represent clients in mediations, corporate recoveries, financial transactions, leasing and contractual disputes, partnerships, joint ventures and shareholder disputes.

I also have specialist experience acting for both beneficiaries and executors in estate matters including litigation and advisory work dealing with issues and challenges to the validity of wills, interpretation of wills and trusts, applications against erring executors, applications to remove trustees, applications for advice and direction by executors and trustees, and testator's family maintenance claims under Part IV of the Administration and Probate Act 1958. I've also advised overseas executors dealing with assets in Australia and arranged for probate resealing.
