Capability
I am an experienced commercial and general legal practitioner with a background across both private practice and in-house. A particular speciality of mine is the sporting industry, with a highlight being working on the largest women’s sporting event in the world. This experience has equipped me to operate efficiently and effectively in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
I take a pragmatic, solution-orientated approach to my legal advice, ensuring it is aligned with commercial objectives. I value cross-functional collaboration and aim to build strong, trusted relationships with key stakeholders. I appreciate the variety of work that being an in-house lawyer offers and the unique opportunity to see how legal input directly contributes to commercial success and community impact.
