I've been in private practice for over 18 years and became a Wills and Estates Victorian Accredited Specialist in 2008.  I was previously a partner of a top-ten Australian legal firm and have developed and headed up Wills and Estates practices in small to mid-tier firms across Melbourne, Australia.

I have extensive expertise acting for high net worth of individuals in the areas of administration of estates and estate litigation including VCAT matters, Wills, Powers of Attorney, Estate Planning (including preparation/amendment of trusts, companies and superannuation funds), superannuation matters, applications to remove trustees and contested Wills.
