Recognized in Best Lawyers since 2017 I advise on complex regulatory and transactional matters spanning planning and development, environment, contaminated land, pollution, water, heritage, waste and compulsory acquisition.
I have acted in significant disputes in the NSW Land and Environment Court, NSW Court of Appeal, Federal Court of Australia, and specialist courts and tribunals across Australia.
My experience is complemented by senior legal and governance roles within ASX 100 companies, advising boards and executive leadership teams on environmental, planning, health and safety, governance and community matters.
Drawing on more than two decades of multi-jurisdictional experience, I combine technical expertise, commercial insight and practical judgement to help clients manage risk, unlock opportunities and navigate complex planning and environmental frameworks with clarity and confidence.
Known for a collaborative approach, I draw on an extensive network of technical specialists, consultants and industry professionals to assemble the right team and help clients achieve their objectives.
I am admitted as a Legal Practitioner of the Supreme Court of NSW and as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of SA and the High Court of Australia.
I regularly advise corporations, private individuals, not-for-profit organisations, developers, infrastructure proponents, resource companies, government agencies and landowners on strategic projects and regulatory issues across Australia.
