Michael

Founder and Director

After being admitted as a legal practitioner in 2005 and working at a mid-tier firm in Brisbane, Michael decided to make the move to the Queensland Bar in 2006.

He is recognised as a leading Family Law Counsel in both Queensland and nationally, regularly appearing on the Doyle’s list.  Michael has a wide-ranging commercial practice, including civil litigation, estate disputes, banking, insurance, bankruptcy / insolvency and is an experienced appellate and trial advocate in State and Federal jurisdictions.

Due to the significant cost and delays associated with scheduling in the legal world, Michael designed the AusLaw platform which was born in 2021.
