She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the firm, having previously headed up the national banking and finance team at Thomson Geer for many years and successfully managed her large homegrown litigation team in Melbourne for over 14 years.

“Julie’s reputation and expertise will greatly enhance our commercial litigation and insolvency offering, enabling us to respond to the increasing demand from our commercial and private clients for our services.”
