Capability
As a seasoned Legal Counsel with over a decade of experience in the insurance and financial services sectors across England and New Zealand, I have supported both listed and non-listed companies. I am recognised for my expertise in contract drafting, providing strategic legal advice, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to excellence and a deep understanding of complex legal frameworks. I am passionate about delivering clear, actionable solutions that align with the regulatory landscape and business objectives.
My approach is practical and pragmatic, always aiming to communicate legal concepts in a straightforward, commercially focused manner. I pride myself on being personable and approachable, and I thrive when collaborating with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds. I am dedicated to understanding their needs and perspectives to deliver the best possible outcomes.
What I enjoy most about working in-house is the variety of challenges and the opportunity to help implement the solutions I propose, making a tangible impact on the organisation’s success.

Monique came to us as maternity cover. She really got the feel of the team fast and worked well with all members of the business. She was proactive and has built up a depth of knowledge in specific contracting structures and has made sure the knowledge was captured prior to her departure. Monique came to us as an insurance lawyer, but has made great inroads into becoming a technology lawyer in the 9 months she has been with us. She hit the ground running and has made a huge impact across Australia and New Zealand, working on a number of new client deals and providing insight and education on insurance to the Legal team.
