I am a commercial disputes professional with a sub-specialty in insolvency. I came to the Victorian Bar with 9 years’ experience in Victoria as a solicitor and 3 years’ experience in New Zealand as Counsel (date of New Zealand admission March 2005).
I have represented clients across a range of industries in commercial, trade practices and corporations disputes. During my career as a solicitor, I acted for the administrators and liquidators of the Timbercorp Group, the Willmott Group, Retravision Southern Group and Bob Jane’s Calder Park trading entities. My extensive litigation experience includes complex shareholder and director disputes, insurance litigation, regulatory prosecutions, class actions, taxation, administrative appeals, civil interlocutory disputes (discovery, subpoenas, freezing orders, security for costs and strikeout/summary judgment) and general contract disputes.
I have advised insolvency practitioners, creditors and directors on all aspects of the insolvency process, including a range of issues under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Personal Property Securities Act 2011 (Cth), voidable transaction claims, contract, partner, shareholder and director disputes, securities enforcement, Court approval for the sale of distressed assets and maximising recovery of personal debts.
