Rob has had a varied career in banking, the not-for-profit sector and tourism before being admitted to the Supreme Court of Queensland in 2012. Today Rob is an experienced lawyer well regarded for his commercial insight, passionate advocacy and strong client connections.

Rob acts for clients in a broad range of disputes, combining his personable nature and clear communication with technical capability, attention to detail and strategic judgment to achieve remarkable outcomes for his clients.

Rob approaches disputes holistically, believing an effective litigation strategy requires more than just knowing the law or advancing a position; it is best served with a clear understanding of his client’s objectives and the underlying commercial and personal interests driving a conflict. Rob takes the time to understand what is most important to his client then crafts strategies that are practical, deliberate and commercial.

Clients consistently value Rob for his honesty, empathy and clarity. They take confidence knowing they are represented by someone values-based who not only specialises in the law, but understands people and, more importantly, them.

As an advocate Rob is tenacious, thorough and prepared. While always alert to opportunities for a commercial settlement, Rob is otherwise a forceful and strategic litigator advancing or defending his clients’ interests.

Outside the office, Rob is a proud Gold Coaster kept blissfully busy these days as a husband and father of two young boys. When family life permits he can usually be found surfing Mermaid Beach, renovating, camping or tinkering with cars. Rob is an active member of Coastal Bible Church in Miami and a long-suffering Wests Tigers fan.
