EXPERTISE AND APPROACH
I am an experienced employment lawyer dedicated to helping people and businesses resolve their employment problems.
If an employment dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation, I am skilled at representing my client’s case through the judicial system. I have appeared in court at all levels, including the Employment Relations Authority, Employment Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
My clients appreciate my professionalism, approachable manner and practical and efficient way in which I deal with their concerns.
I have a LLB and BA (Sociology) from Victoria University. I was admitted in 2009 and joined the bar in 2023. Prior to heading to the bar, I led the employment team at a leading mid-tier full service firm.
