He joined Chalk & Behrendt, then Chalk and Fitzgerald, in 2011 and was previously a partner in a large national firm and, in addition to his role leading its Sydney Communications, Energy & Infrastructure team, was staff partner of its Sydney office – a role in which he contributed significantly to the development of that firm and its people.
