Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland

Member – Noosa Heads Surf Life Savers Club

Michael commenced legal practice in 1988, focusing on commercial, litigation and fisheries areas. He is routinely contracted by commercial fishing interest groups to lobby Government in relation to Fishing Legislation, and actively involved with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Restructure Package, representing more than 100 commercial fishing clients. A measure of his expertise is his successful defence of many of the significant commercial fishing prosecution cases in
Queensland in the last decade.

Michael takes a very hands-on role in practice management, in conjunction with his partner Julian McNamara, as well as
his involvement with major commercial negotiations, commercial dispute resolution and general litigation and dispute resolution work.

As active outside the practice, as he is at the office, Michael thrives on high energy pursuits such as basketball, surfing, touch football, running and team triathlon.
