about

I am interested in tough cases and hard questions: what does good AI governance look like, where does law fit into it, how can professionals and knowledge-workers best adapt, how can AI improve access to services and the delivery of justice, and what it means to align AI systems.

For over a decade I have advised and acted in cases across criminal law, legal aid, guardianship & powers of attorney, human rights, civil liberties, and government policy.

I have supervised teams of lawyers, appeared in radio and television interviews, won difficult cases, spoken at parliamentary inquiries, and taught law - to students, lawyers, and barristers.

I was called to the Bar in 2019 - mentored by Crown Counsel for Victoria, Sarah J Keating KC and international barrister Dr Felicity Gerry KC.

Alongside my practice, I have built AI skills - completing technical and AI-safety coursework, writing personal scripts, tools, and web apps by agentic coding, and engaging with the governance and alignment community, on the view that these challenges demand concerted, cross-disciplinary effort.

I am particularly excited about model evaluations, lessons that can be gleaned for the technical AI safety community by drawing analogies between AI safety problems and the common law system (principal-agent dynamics, fiduciary obligations, etc), working to mitigate systemic and existential risks, and ensuring the fair and equitable implementation of AI.
