Tried and Tested Litigation Services

As a seasoned litigation lawyer, I bring over 20 years of experience to my practice, offering strategic advice and support to select clients, other law firms and in-house teams engaged in complex, high-stakes disputes. Here are some of my recent engagements:

  • I had the opportunity to work alongside one of Australia's premier law firms, on a landmark contamination class action case. The case resolved for > $100m. I helped with parsing pleadings, formulating evidence plans, interviewing witnesses and analyzing more than ten thousand pages of evidence to support the preparation work. 
  • My consulting services are sought after by a number of top-tier law firms for large class actions. Working as part of their teams, I delivered senior-level analysis and conducted rigorous work to help navigate these intricate and substantial disputes. 
  • In another engagement, I had the privilege of working as in-house counsel at a leading university to help it resolve some of its long standing disputes. I provided strategic advice to put protracted disputes to bed on a final basis. 

In my role as a litigation lawyer and consultant, I believe in the power of collaboration and the unique insights that a third-party perspective can bring. My goal is to leverage my expertise to help my clients achieve even better results in their litigation efforts.

  • Senior Level Analysis
  • Deep, and rigorous work
  • Substantial disputes only
  • When 20+ years of experience is needed alongside tried and trusted advice
  • Helping high performance litigation teams or in-house lawyers get even better results for stake holders
