As an expe­ri­enced prop­er­ty lawyer with over 25 years’ work­ing in com­mer­cial prop­er­ty in Aus­tralia, I pro­vide my clients with both deep knowl­edge and exper­tise in leas­ing, prop­er­ty invest­ment, and prop­er­ty development.

I am recog­nised for my client ser­vice and I under­stand the impor­tance of adding val­ue beyond the legal aspects, by assist­ing my clien­t’s with strate­gic think­ing and com­mer­cial­ly viable solu­tions. My clients include cor­po­ra­tions, pri­vate com­pa­nies and families.
