You run your business.
I’ll help you protect it.
In-house legal counsel for Australia’s top businesses
Stay ahead of challenges and navigate tricky business matters before they get out of hand with proactive legal guidance for ambitious brands.
In my world, there are two types of businesses: One hires a traditional law firm to clean up a mess. The other hires me to help stay ahead of the challenges and avoid the mess altogether.
Taking a wait-and-see approach to legal roadblocks can cost you time, money and business growth. Why risk it?
I get it – managing the legal side of business shouldn’t distract you from running the show, nor is it at the top of everyone’s to-do list, but you’ve come here for a reason.
I also see you. You’re steering the ship of a driven brand and want to protect it with a lower appetite for legal risks. You’re pragmatic about covering your bases when it comes to protecting your business so you can focus on your long-term growth. At the same time, you don’t want some randomly allocated junior lawyer in a suit telling you what to do in vague terms when the problem pops up and invoicing you an arm and a leg afterwards.
Forecast the risks before they land on your desk, with legal counsel you can trust.
You need someone at the table with you who understands the intricacies of your business and positions you to avoid future liabilities, especially those that don’t align with your strategy.
I want to reshape how growing businesses view legal help in the modern world. I want to make it more human, more valuable, and more accessible.

CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO OF LEGAL SUPPORT FOR BUSINESSES ON THE RISE
Flexibility, innovation, and a desire to do things differently.

I’m not here for legal quick fixes—I’m here to help build solid foundations, bring clarity to chaos and reshape how big business views legal support and the opportunities it can create.
