I pride myself on quality, first and foremost. I am sure that whatever experience you are going through requiring you to engage a lawyer causes you angst. When you engage me, your problem becomes my problem. Therefore, I also pride myself on communication. I want you to know what is happening with your matter every step of the way and more importantly, that you understand the legal process.

You will also know the possible outcomes, whether they be good or bad, as most people want some certainty.

I practise in a wide range of areas across South Australia, the Northern Territory, Western Australia, the ACT and Tasmania, and so I can help you with your problem wherever it may exist. I believe a good lawyer approaches problems with creativity by thinking out of the box, but also with confidence, and if there is a testament to that it’s my fierce defence of people’s rights.

I have acted in a number of significant and complex matters around Australia which brings out the best in me, and in turn, the best for your matter.

For my entire practice I have been the advisor to large Association clients such as the Police Association of South Australia, Northern Territory Police Association, Western Australian Police Union, the Correctional Officers Legal Fund and South Australian State School Leaders Association: representing the organisation or their members across a variety of matters, including disciplinary, criminal and industrial, and large judicial reviews.

However, I also help many people individually with their particular problem, be it criminal charges, disciplinary and professional misconduct allegations, ICAC/CCC inquiries, defence of WorkSafe prosecutions, Commissions and Coronial Inquiries, AHPRA regulatory requirements, Administrative and workplace issues and Boards of Appeal or Review, including sporting regulatory bodies.

My personal life has also had a great influence on my abilities as a lawyer having a vast array of professional experiences although young at age.

I am 33 years old, having become a partner of TGB at the age of 30 and only 6 years after my admission as a lawyer. I am competitive and I enjoy success, and I have those same values when I approach your legal problem.

I became vice-president of the South Gawler Football Club at the age of 25, and then president at the age of 26, a position I held for four years before reluctantly stepping down to spend more time with my family, and with increasing commitments in my practice between SA, the NT and the ACT. I am a proud father of 2 boys to my beautiful partner Hayley and enjoy spending time up the river when I have a spare moment.

I have also been a Board member of Light the Way Foundation, a charity intended to provide grants of funding to those under privileged so they can realise their dream in sport, arts, education and study.

In addition, I have been the principal Legal Advisor to the Barossa Light and Gawler Football Association, and a committee member on the SANFL Player Payments Committee.

My involvement advising Associations, as well as my Board, management and committee experience across these sporting associations, has really given me a broad knowledge base that has helped me in my legal career, and greatly benefits my clients.
