I work for a diverse range of clients, including government bodies, public companies, small businesses, not-for-profit entities and private individuals.

Career highlights

My practice includes all federal and state taxes (direct and indirect), business structuring, companies, partnerships and trusts, business succession and asset protection.

I have a particular focus on:

• capital gain tax (including small business concessions, roll-overs and trust issues);
• GST (including advising on the GST implications of a range of complex commercial and property transactions); and
• stamp duty (both in SA, and interstate).

I also have considerable experience in working for not-for-profit organisations, with a particular focus on structuring (and restructuring) such organisations to obtain relevant tax concessions.

I am heavily involved with both the Tax Institute and the Law Council of Australia, and believe this adds to the expertise that I have built up over many years in private practice.
