I practice law because I love solving problems. I consider myself a creative thinker which allows me to look into things many different ways. This combined with an extremely competitive nature and the ability to talk underwater led me to a career in law.
Bohden was admitted as a Solicitor in the Supreme Court of Queensland in August 2023, after completing studies at the University of the Sunshine Coast.
Bohden’s practice at Rose Litigation Lawyers focuses on a diverse range of commercial disputes, including intellectual property (trade mark disputes, copyright infringement, patent litigation), insolvency, shareholder disputes, administrative law, building and construction, defamation, body corporate matters, and tax litigation.
Bohden is currently undertaking a Master of Laws (LLM) in Intellectual Property at the University of Technology Sydney and is on track to obtain accreditation as a registered attorney with IP Australia.
Prior to admission, Bohden gained valuable experience as an Associate at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (now the Administrative Review Tribunal), primarily working within the General and Tax & Commercial Divisions.
In his extra-curricular life, Bohden has sat in various executive and non-executive positions for the University of the Sunshine Coast Law Students Association, the Australian Law Students Association, and Caboolture Rugby Union.
Outside of his legal work, Bohden enjoys exploring his interests in cooking, camping, exercise, and any other hobbies which pique his interest. Bohden says that his proudest achievement to date is commencing his 20th year straight of playing rugby with the Snakes.
