PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Appearances are undertaken across all jurisdictions, including interim applications, contested hearings, trials, and appeals. I bring extensive experience in forensic analysis, structured argument, and responsive advocacy to ensure that cases are presented with clarity and authority.

I prepare detailed and considered written opinions to assist in the assessment of merits, prospects, and strategy. My written work includes the preparation of submissions and advocacy documents drafted to the standard expected for appellate or superior court proceedings.

I provide litigation support where additional capacity is required, including the preparation and settling of pleadings, affidavits, applications, and draft orders. This service enables solicitors to meet demanding caseloads with confidence, ensuring documents are precise, compliant, and strategically framed.

I offer independent evaluations of matters at any stage of proceedings. This involves a frank appraisal of strengths, risks, and likely outcomes, providing a clear framework for decisions about settlement, trial strategy, or appeal.

I provide a comprehensive trial preparation service, reviewing pleadings, evidence, witness outlines, and case theories to ensure matters are ready to proceed. This includes identifying evidentiary issues, refining strategy, and providing guidance designed to maximise prospects at hearing.

I deliver continuing professional development presentations, seminars, and conference papers. These sessions are designed for practitioners seeking practical insights, detailed analysis, and discussion of emerging issues within family law, criminal law, and related jurisdictions.
