Admissions: New South Wales andVictoria
In 1973 I commenced worked at the Commonwealth Crown Solicitor’s Office. I was mainly responsible for personal injury work. In 1980 I mostly did Commonwealth revenue work but also was involved in some constitutional matters. I was also involved with general administrative law and some customs work.
Since coming to the Bar in April 1989 I have practised principally in revenue (income tax, sales tax, GST, payroll tax and stamp duty) or revenue related matters and matters of a general administrative law nature. In addition my practise involves general insolvency work, both bankruptcy and company liquidations, and also some general work of an equitable or commercial nature.
My principal areas of practice are:
- Revenue (including Bankruptcy)
- Administrative
- Equity
