I help my clients create and negotiate clear, plain English contracts so they can achieve great project outcomes. If you are in the construction, engineering or consulting space and you hate dealing with your legals, I will take that frustration off your hands. I am a contract lawyer. I founded SoundLegal because I love navigating legal and commercial puzzles to help achieve the best project outcome. I translate complex contractual and commercial principles into plain English. My strengths are in drafting and reviewing contracts and preparing contract clarifications at tender stage. I deliver advice that ensures my clients, their clients and their suppliers and subcontractors understand exactly where everyone stands. I've drafted and reviewed thousands of design services and consulting agreements, construction contracts and other commercial and legal documents. I'm at ease drafting contract templates and terms and conditions, as well as amendments for all of the Australian Standard form contracts. My experience negotiating public and private sector contracts across large-scale engineering, construction, infrastructure and consulting projects stands me in good stead to advise and represent a broad spectrum of businesses, from SMEs to large corporates. I was an in-house lawyer for 8 years, so I know exactly what it is like to be client-side and need targeted, practical legal advice. I love demystifying contract and legal concepts in face-to-face workshops. I regularly facilitate contract law and risk management workshops at AIMWA and develop and present in-house training to sales, procurement and commercial teams. 12 years in the construction industry has provided me with war stories galore.

I am a global business leader with 15+ years of success in guiding high-growth organizations through periods of rapid growth and transformation. I enjoy building and scaling world-class marketing organizations. While my marketing experience is broad and transcends several distinct industries, there is a common thread throughout my career – a track record of leading go-to-market strategies that increase brand visibility, support scalable growth, and drive global expansion within hyper-competitive markets. My marketing career spans three Fortune 500 tech companies (Adobe, Oracle, and Sony) in addition to several mid-sized companies (dotdigital and Magento). As a result of my success operating at the SMB, mid-market, and enterprise level, I can both think strategically and tactically execute. Additionally, boards, executives, and their teams recognize my innate ability to break down silos, drive cross-functional collaboration, and champion data-driven marketing.
