With a career focus in public and administrative law, I advise my clients on government decision-making, administrative law, and statutory interpretation, as well as representing them in judicial review litigation and merits review proceedings. Throughout my career, I have worked as an in-house legal advisor to Commonwealth government agencies and served as an external advisor to many of the large Commonwealth agencies and regulatory bodies. I also regularly advise non-government clients on issues concerning government decisions and regulation. I'm known for delivering clear advice, practical solutions, and strong representation. My career highlights include: • Representing the Department of Immigration and Border Protection in a wide variety of matters before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, the Federal Circuit Court, the Federal Court, and the High Court.• Acting in proceedings that challenged a decision under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) relating to coal seam gas mining in South East Queensland.• Preparing an independent report to Government on the effectiveness of the legislative framework surrounding the Northern Territory Emergency Response and the Stronger Futures policy. • Preparing legislative instruments that give effect to service level guarantees in the telecommunications industry.
