I am a commercial and corporate lawyer with extensive banking, finance, and securities enforcement experience. am committed to taking the necessary time to fully understand my clients’ businesses and their objectives so as to deliver timely, cost-effective, and commercial outcomes. I regularly advise clients on transactions that are regulated by the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
I have practiced as a commercial transactional lawyer for over 16 years. I have advised clients in respect of complex and significant-value acquisitions across a wide range of industry sectors including healthcare, real estate, information technology and finance.
I act for small to medium enterprises, listed entities and high net worth individuals in a broad range of transactions, including shareholder and joint venture arrangements, property developments, distribution and manufacturing and licence arrangements.
I also oversee a busy commercial lending practice in which I act for banks and non-bank lenders primarily in trade and receivables finance.
I have particular expertise in respect of the Personal Properties Securities Act and I regularly act for financiers, suppliers and insolvency practitioners on matters concerning its application. I have drafted amendments to the facility and security documents and drafted PPSA compliance manual for a major, national invoice financier. Furthermore, I have acted in only one of two reported decisions in the Federal Court concerning an application to re-instate security interests which had been removed in error from the Personal Property Securities Register.
