Career

Alice is a special counsel based in our Melbourne office. Alice has deep knowledge of the laws applicable to charities, including laws relating to tax concessions, charitable purposes, governance and structures. She is a leader in the firm’s Charity Law practice in Melbourne, helping clients – including charities, foundations, corporates and people wanting to set up a charity or foundation – with governance, compliance, tax and structuring. Alice has a detailed understanding of the many regulations that apply to operating a charity in Australia, particularly the relevant sections of the Income Tax Assessment Act and how the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) applies these provisions. Alice’s work also encompasses the Charities Act and Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission Act and the workings of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). She has a close working relationship with the ACNC and the ATO. Drawing on her previous corporate law experience, she also advises charity and foundation boards on structural options and governance issues. Alice moved into the Charity Law group at the beginning of 2000, just when significant changes were made in this area of law as part of the introduction of GST. She is recognised Australia-wide for her knowledge and regularly presents papers on issues affecting charities and foundations. Alice works closely with the firm’s Pro Bono and Community operations, and is a member of the ACNC Professional User Group, the Australian Law Council’s Committee for Charity and Not-for-Profit Law and the Victorian Women Lawyers Work Practices Committee. She is also on the board of two charities.
