Skills
I am a solicitor admitted in Australia (WA), with international and Australian experience in private practice and in-house roles. My practice includes corporate / commercial transactions, projects, disputes, and investigations, with a focus on the following sectors: energy and resources (including energy, mining, oil, and gas), construction, education, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, OHS, and technology/ TMT. I have unique experience in cross border transactions in emerging and developing markets, including but not limited to, Australia, Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, and internationally. I have held various senior roles, including Head of Legal at Asia Pacific Legal, in house on secondment at major international companies, and as a senior lawyer in major international and U.S. law firms. During my career, I have worked on and closed various multi-billion Australian and cross-border matters. I speak English and provide legal advice and drafting in English. I can work on Australian and international matters. However, international work can only be provided by me with the assistance of additional separate local counsel/ local lawyers that are licensed to provide legal advice/ sign-off in that foreign jurisdiction. I cannot provide foreign law sign- off or foreign legal advice for jurisdictions that are not Australia.
