I'm a Special Counsel in the Corporate Group based in our Sydney office, with a focus on delivering strategic legal advice to clients in the Technology & Communications and Financial Services sectors. With close to two decades of experience working in, and providing advice to, high technology industries, I bring a valuable blend of technical acumen and legal insight. I began my professional career as a computer programmer before changing to law in 2005, giving me a sector-side perspective on Australia's complex information technology landscape.
I advise on both traditional information technology services and emerging digital platforms. My technical background enables me to guide clients through the legal intricacies of these fast-evolving areas with clarity and confidence. In the fintech space, I specialise in non-cash payment systems and their regulatory frameworks. I also have expertise in blockchain, digital currencies, and next-generation financial technologies. I deliver commercially pragmatic and technically sound advice that helps clients stay ahead of the curve.
