I help businesses and investors successfully resolve their most important cross-border legal disputes in a responsive, cost-effective, and results-based manner. Prior to joining LFM, I ran the Australian operations for the world’s largest legal finance company, Burford Capital, which involved working with top in-house counsel, law firms, and barristers, on litigation, commercial arbitration, investor-state arbitration, and award/judgment enforcement campaigns. That experience sharpened my abilities to efficiently manage legal teams on large cases, identify and price legal risks and claims for clients, assess potential damages in commercial cases, and represent clients in a tenacious, commercial, and results-focused way. In addition to advising clients on legal disputes, I bring clients strategic expertise in legal finance and contingent risk insurance. My experience also includes having worked in the New York office of Quinn Emanuel where I advised clients, managed large teams of attorneys, provided first chair advocacy, took and defended depositions, worked on complex damages and statistical sampling analyses, helped build a leading international arbitration practice, assisted clients in mediations, and successfully recovered over US $1.5 billion for clients through litigation, commercial arbitration, and investor-state arbitration. I have worked with businesses and individuals on “bet-the-company” arbitrations and jury trials, involving complex financial products; mergers and acquisition-related disputes; structured finance litigation; creditor, loan and financing-related disputes; foreign investment and international trade disputes; legal disputes concerning mining, resources, energy, commodities, renewables, infrastructure and construction projects; shareholder disputes; insurance; data privacy; real estate; technology and intellectual property; business torts and directors’ duties; and insolvency-related disputes. I also have experience advising government clients on regulatory matters, major litigation, and appellate work, including before the High Court of Australia. I am recognized and ranked for my expertise in legal finance, transnational dispute resolution, and constitutional law. In addition to being a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, a Fulbright W.G. Walker Scholar at Harvard Law School, a Fellow at the Law Foundation of South Australia, and teaching courses at New York University and Adelaide Law School, my thought leadership has been published in many books, articles, and speaking engagements.
