Robert has experience and expertise across an impressive range of areas. He regularly appears in the Supreme Court of New South Wales and Federal Court of Australia, as well as lower courts and courts in other jurisdictions. He generally appears unled, including against silk.

His practice focuses primarily on commercial, corporations and consumer law. He is frequently briefed to advise and appear in matters involving contractual claims, corporate governance, shareholder disputes and unfair trade practices. He also has considerable experience in the areas of building and construction, professional negligence, real property, intentional torts and equity with a particular focus on trusts.

From time to time, Robert also accepts briefs to act in criminal cases. He has advised and appeared for clients facing serious charges including importation of prohibited precursors and contempt of the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission. His defence of the conspiracy to obstruct justice charges brought by the Commonwealth against Dr Russell Pridgeon resulted in the charges being withdrawn after a prosecution spanning over five years.

Robert is trusted by his clients fiercely to advocate for their best interests - whether by driving through a case in court, providing accurate and commercially-minded advice, or carefully negotiating a mutually beneficial compromise. He has acted for governmental bodies and large businesses including the Audit Office of NSW, Knight Frank, Johnson & Johnson and Meriton, as well as many medium and small businesses, commercial and residential owners corporations, insolvency practitioners and individuals.
