I lead MinterEllison’s Human Resources and Industrial Relations practice in Brisbane. As an employment and IR lawyer my practice is centred around people. I thrive on helping those in HR, Legal, Risk, C-Suite roles and on Boards ensure their businesses are compliant with workplace laws, adopt appropriate industrial relations strategies, manage change programs, implement business protection initiatives, and (where necessary) help resolve disputes. I also regularly conduct in house training sessions on workplace relations matters and defensible decision making.
