She practises in civil litigation, including commercial, professional liability, insurance coverage, and regulatory matters. She represents professionals, insurers, and regulatory bodies, and is known for her steady approach to managing demanding files and advancing work efficiently.
Her work spans multi-party commercial proceedings, negligence claims, and professional discipline hearings.
