I am a mem­ber of the AICD with a results-dri­ven approach to prop­er­ty, devel­op­ment and leas­ing trans­ac­tions focussed on deliv­er­ing prag­mat­ic legal solu­tions that dri­ve com­mer­cial outcomes. 

With over 20 years of senior legal and prop­er­ty expe­ri­ence across pri­vate prac­tice, air­port in-house and com­mer­cial roles and con­sult­ing, I bring a unique blend of strate­gic legal acu­men and com­mer­cial­ly focused advi­so­ry ser­vices assist­ing clients nav­i­gat­ing com­plex prop­er­ty, leas­ing and com­mer­cial rev­enue transactions.
