Expertise

Jennifer, who is from Northern Ireland, completed her LLB (Hons) and Legal Practice Course in England in 1998. After concluding her two years of articles with a regional firm renowned nationally for its Licensing practice, she qualified as a solicitor in September 2000.

For the next 3 years, she worked for the top tier firm of Eversheds in their Leeds office, specialising in Commercial Property and Finance where she managed property and lending portfolios for national clients, including Sky Television (B Sky B), Kuwait Petroleum, Bank of Scotland and Yorkshire Bank.

During a 12-month career break teaching sailing in the United States and travelling, she met her husband (who is Australian) before they moved back to Northern Ireland for 18 months where Jennifer enjoyed using her experience in property practice to work in a niche Commercial and Building Litigation firm in Belfast, mainly advising participants in the building, construction and design industry.

After moving to Melbourne, completing the required studies and a period of practice in Commercial Litigation, Jennifer was admitted to practice in Australia.

Jennifer commenced with Brand Partners in October 2007 and enjoys acting for corporations, businesses and individuals in VCAT, Magistrates Court, County Court, Supreme Court and Federal Court on:

  • Building and construction disputes
  • Property disputes
  • Contractual disputes
  • Debt recovery
  • Insolvency
  • General Commercial Litigation

Away from the office, Jennifer and her husband, Adam, enjoy going camping, walking their labrador, water-skiing, snow-boarding and gardening - anything in the great Australian outdoors!
