I was first admitted as a legal practitioner in 1998, and have worked as a solicitor and a barrister in both New Zealand and Australia. Throughout this period, I have undertaken a wide variety of court matters ranging from criminal jury trials to commercial litigation. This has also included roles as a senior lawyer in the public sector, focusing particularly on care jurisdiction (child protection) matters, family law, administrative law, coronial inquests, and civil claims against the state.
