I studied at Bond University on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia and did an LLB/BCom (Accounting) before joining McCullough Robertson in Brisbane.

I joined Herbert Smith in April 2008 as I wanted the opportunity to work closely with partners and other associates who are specialists in their field - and with an enviable client list on complex and ambitious projects.

Since starting here I have found that Herbert Smith gives you the opportunity to show leadership and take responsibility for your work. However the support is always there when you need it as we have a "real" open door policy.

My ongoing work for Abu Dhabi Motorsports Management has been of particular interest. ADMM is the entity established to oversee the construction and management of the Yas Marina Circuit, as well as the hosting of the 2009 Formula One Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix later this year.

At Herbert Smith, we're very much interested in the quality not quantity of deals we work on. With that in mind we take an innovative approach to the way we work - one that transcends the basic tenets of the law to deliver an innovative but clear-cut solution.

The firm recruits people who are passionate, committed, well-rounded and talented, which makes it a great place to work and continue my career.
