I am a legal academic at UNSW Canberra (at ADFA), an Emeritus Fellow of the UNSW Scientia Education Academy and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy UK (Advance HE). I lecture in Business Law, Contract Law (Commercial Acumen) and Legal Risk Management at the undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels within the School of Business. I have also taught at other academic institutions in the areas of Business Law, Contracts, Litigation/Dispute Resolution and Competition and Consumer Law.

Immediately prior to joining the School of Business on a full-time basis, I was a Registrar of the Federal Court of Australia and of the then Federal Magistrates Court of Australia, appointments I held for almost a decade. I was also appointed as Secretary of the former Professional Conduct Board of the ACT Law Society for a number of years. I have served as an elected member of the Executive Committee of the Federal Litigation and Dispute Resolution Section of the Law Council of Australia and currently serve as an appointed member of the Law Council's Federal Court of Australia Liaison Committee, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia Liaison Committee and the Australian Consumer Law Committee. I am admitted as a Barrister-at-Law of the Supreme Court of NSW, and as a Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of Australia and of the Supreme Courts of the ACT and Victoria. In addition to my teaching role, I practise law and hold an appointment as an Adjunct Associate Professor of Law (University of Canberra).
