I am the principal solicitor at Silk Legal, an experienced family, construction, and wills and estates lawyer. I founded Silk Legal to deliver personalised and practical solutions tailored to each client’s needs.

Before launching Silk Legal, I honed my expertise as Legal Counsel at the Master Builders Association of Victoria, specialising in construction law, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance. I have also successfully handled a wide range of cases across general practice, from court advocacy in the Federal Circuit and Family Court and Magistrates Court to mediations and many other forms of dispute resolution and contract negotiations.

Passionate about empowering clients with clear, actionable advice, I’m committed to making your legal journey smooth and stress-free—whether you’re planning for your future, resolving a dispute, or managing property transactions.
