He has practiced in entertainment law (music, performance, publication, gaming and film), insurance, business and not-for-profit, internet and technology, intellectual property (copyright and trademark) and criminal justice. His experience in these areas have complimented his family law practice as he is able to identify other aspects of a client’s life that may be affected by their family law issues.

With an aim to provide his clients with empathetic and comprehensive legal advice, he hopes to equip his clients with practical and meaningful resolutions to implement into their lives.
