Derek is a partner in Baker McKenzie's Corporate Markets practice group in Brisbane. Derek practices in corporate law with a focus on capital markets, including mergers and acquisitions and capital raisings, primarily in the energy and resources and technology and communications sectors.

As a strong advocate of the dynamic small-mid cap market in Australia, Derek has guided numerous companies, through his "trusted adviser" relationship with entrepreneurs and founders, to successful listings on the Australian Securities Exchange, including ERM Power Limited, Shine Justice Ltd (Shine Lawyers), Superloop Limited, Megaport Limited, Novonix Limited, and State Gas Limited.

In addition, Derek has a particular interest and passion in shareholder activism. He is regularly appointed to act for major shareholders seeking board renewal and strategic change to proactively protect their investments. In that role, Derek’s strategic advice is regularly sought on Takeovers Panel proceedings.

Clients seek his forensic knowledge and understanding of equity markets and appreciate his strategic and personal approach to every deal. He is known for his ability to be easy to work with, to simplify rather than complicate issues and to be a formidable advocate in hostile or contested corporate actions.
