About the founder

I am a specialist lawyer with senior management experience who offers a valuable combination of legal, drafting and managerial expertise. I have practised banking and financial services law for 17 years, including over 6 years spent in-house in leadership roles and over 4.5 years spent focused on legal documentation, precedents and knowledge management at a top-tier Australian firm and a magic circle global firm. I have a client focused and user friendly approach when delivering legal advice and knowledge outcomes that provide internal and external stakeholder value and satisfaction.

As the principal and a consultant of Legal Know-How, I utilise my top tier experience to provide expert advice to firms and businesses on a wide variety of legal and operational matters, as well as provide user-friendly knowledge management solutions to firms and businesses to enhance client/customer service.
