I'm a Senior Legal Counsel in the Asbestos team at Slater and Gordon Lawyers, and an experienced litigator. I have worked in asbestos litigation for over 30 years in a lawyer and support capacity. I have been involved in more than 700 claims; from former James Hardie and Wunderlich workers, to wives who washed their husband’s clothes, and people exposed as children in home renovations. I never cease to be surprised by the many ways in which people are exposed to asbestos.
My priority is to achieve the best result for my clients, with the minimum amount of stress. I have a warm friendly manner and am very sensitive to my client’s needs. Outside of work I love to walk long distances including the Camino de Santiago in Spain and the Kumano Kodō in Japan.
