Your lifestyle.
Your legacy.
Starts with you.
It's all about the hats
Welcome!
​
I am above and beyond your ordinary solicitor. In fact, I generally don't consider myself as your "lawyer", rather - I am your risk manager. ​
​
Whether you're re-assessing the structure of your business, property portfolio or relationship, from up-sizing to down-sizing, to traffic and commercial concerns, I can assist and guide you to the best outcome.
As a qualified and experienced solicitor, my ultimate goal is to provide clients with quality and tailored legal services. My proactive approach is part of an entire suite of services available to ensure your personal and business goals are achieved. Whether you need legal advice, transactional services, or help with a dispute or debt recovery, I have you covered. You will be treated with dignity and empowered to make informed choices.
​
I take this same approach into the board room and the classroom. Equitable access to the law means giving students a good start in the classroom, providing a comfortable experience to clients in the office, and a creating a supportive board room for all professionals.
​
My bold and TMI ("too much information") approach means I ensure no stone goes unturned. I share my stories loudly and seek to create safe environments for collaboration. All spaces are places of learning and I seek to ensure all conversations (no matter how uncomfortable), are positive and mutual learning experiences.
​
Fuelling these stories are my experiences as a young woman, lawyer and mother. I am equally proud of my cultural heritage and thankful to have been born and raised in Western Sydney. Ultimately, I want to see the legal profession reflect the diversity we serve. This requires actively encouraging and supporting more culturally and linguistically diverse people to join the legal profession. I am also an advocate for women in property, whether it be as strong investors or service providers (or both!) In sharing my story and collaborating with others, I hope to contribute to genuine intergenerational change.
​
I believe in the power of leaning in- ready to lead and support you as your trusted solicitor and colleague.

There are so many misconceptions about the study and practice of law, the law, and lawyers. There are also many people who have an opinion on starting or managing a business. Taking a holistic approach, get advice from the right people. Whether you're curious about the profession and career, or are keen to ensure you have all your options before you sign on the dotted line- contact me. This website is a space for me to share my thoughts and demystify all these misconceptions. Thank you for taking the time to visit my site. I look forward to having a chat with you.
