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.
