Donna Cross | Juno Legal | Lawyer

Capability 

I'm a commercial lawyer with extensive in-house experience across a range of industries and both the public and private sector.   

With a diverse background in legal, executive and commercial roles, I bring a broad perspective and appreciate the need for practical and reliable advice aligned to the organisation’s objectives. 

What I enjoy the most about working as an in-house lawyer is being able to truly work as part of the business, developing the deep organisational knowledge that enables you to take your delivery of legal services to another level, and building enduring relationships.

  • Donna is an experienced, diligent and effective lawyer with a strong commercial and legal background and genuine attention to detail. She knows the value of ‘picking up the phone’ to the client before she starts drafting contracts or preparing advice, and understands the risk/reward inherent in civil contracting and resources businesses. Donna is pragmatic, looks at the big picture and asks the right questions. She has made an excellent contribution to Fulton Hogan and is a real asset for our team.
