I am a lawyer because I want to help clients find cost-effective commercial outcomes that mitigate the impact on the clients and facilitate clients focussing on what they do best – their business. Nothing is more satisfying to me than achieving an outcome that allows our client to move on and succeed in whatever it is that they do.
Michael joined Rose in 2024 and practices in commercial litigation, insolvency and dispute resolution.
Michael has been in practice since 2017 and has a wealth of experience dealing with high emotion litigation and the breakdown of long-term relationships, both commercial and personal. Michael has a broad litigation background and substantial experience appearing before Courts of all jurisdictions. Michael is an experienced and strong advocate who focusses on the needs of clients and producing a commercial outcome that balances the complexities and risk of litigation against the impact of litigation on a client and related parties. Michael was from 2019 to 2023 a director and treasurer of a medium-sized veterans support charity and has experience in manoeuvring with the complex environment of a board and an understanding of the issues that can often arise in that forum.
Outside of work, Michael is a sports fanatic and plays basketball several times a week. Michael also enjoys spending time with his growing family and delving into the depths of history.
