About Me
I came to law after 25 years working in IT, in Australia and Hong Kong. I worked at an Adelaide commercial law firm while studying law, later taught law at Flinders University, and now run my own practice in the city. I am also a pilot and aircraft owner. That background means I look at problems a little differently, and I take the time to make sure you understand where you stand.
