I have broad experience working with a large and diverse portfolio of organisations in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, contract law, procurement, commercial law, and branding. I'm also the proud host of two of the top business law podcasts in Australia: Talking Law (providing smart legal tips for business), and The Deal Room (Australia’s first mergers and acquisitions podcast).I spend my spare time dreaming about ways to create the perfect business, one that breaks the traditional lawyer mould, delivers deep value to its clients, and has a positive impact on the community and the world, Aspect Legal.We are commercial lawyers, and deal makers.

The Deal Room podcast is all about the world of business sales and acquisitions. It has a listening audience made up of professionals involved in business sales and acquisitions, as well as owners and managers of businesses that are building to sell, or looking to buy. It is based on an interview format, where I cherry pick some great people to provide relevant and interesting information in this area. I love this area of law, and thought it was high time I took some of our specialist knowledge at Aspect Legal and share it in a commercial context, rather than just talking about legal stuff! We release new episodes every Tuesday. You can listen to our episodes on www.thedealroompodcast.com or subscribe to The Deal Room Podcast on iTunes to be the first to know when a new episode is out.
