I have extensive banking experience with ANZ and NAB, in Australia, dealing with local and offshore exposures.
I have significant involvement across different industries and lending types, including bilateral, club, syndicated and securitised facilities.
My experience giving evidence is more extensive than any currently active counterpart, and includes:
- Acting as an banking expert witness in the Singapore International Commercial Court, Federal Court of Australia, and Victorian Supreme Court – each engagement including Joint Expert reports, and requiring concurrent (“hot-tub”) evidence.
- Representing NAB at at Parliamentary Inquiries including two Senate Inquiries, and two Parliamentary Joint Committee hearings.
- Appearing as a witness in a Liquidator’s public examination in the Federal Court.
I have provided banking expert reports for matters in the Federal Court of Australia; Singapore International Commercial Court; Queensland, Victorian & NSW Supreme Courts; NSW Land and Environment Court, the Victorian County Court, and VCAT.
I am a former Victorian State Committee member and Chair and former National Board member, and a Fellow of ARITA. I am a Chartered Accountant and a member of the BFSLA Conference Planning Committee. BankingExpertWitness.com.au is a proud sponsor of the BFSLA 2021 Conference.
