| Dispute Resolution |
| My current primary area of practice is in commercial law. If you are involved in, or likely to become involved in, litigation my approach will probably be to help you find appropriate representation. That said, I have several years of experience as a litigator in arbitration and courts in NSW (including, many years ago, patent litigation on teabags of all things!). I have completed a LEADR Mediation Workshop and am able to assist in alternative dispute resolution leading up to the commencement of litigation. This includes drafting and responding to letters of demand. |
