Kate worked with us from 1994 to 1998 as a paralegal during her university studies, then moved to Sydney and worked in boutique CBD firms until 2008, when she returned to live and work in Wollongong.

She has extensive experience in contract and lease disputes, corporate insolvency, general debt recovery, trade practices, employment law, intellectual property and the preparation of agreements and other documentation and advice for small business.
While Kate is a competent advocate and enjoys the challenge of Court work, she ensures that her clients are fully appraised of their options and the consequences of taking various steps so as to facilitate understanding and to encourage the early settlement of disputes where appropriate.

She is a senior member of the Illawarra Master Builders Alpine club and looks forward to skiing in the winter months. Kate also has a love of music, holding an AMus.A Diploma in Violin.
