I teach and research in the areas of intellectual property law. My research focuses on copyright and moral rights, particularly in the context of literature and visual art. I obtained my LLB and a BA (Hons) in English Literature from Monash University, and a LLM by research from UWA which focused on the potential registration of non-traditional trade marks. Before joining UWA in 1999, I worked as a solicitor for Freehill, Hollingdale and Page, and a Legal Research Officer for a Member of the WA Legislative Assembly. Since joining UWA, I have from time to time worked part-time as a solicitor and as a consultant to specialist intellectual property law firms. I have published internationally in numerous peer-reviewed journals and edited collections and presented my work at conferences and workshops in many countries, a number of which I have convened or co-convened. I have been a visiting scholar at Berkeley Law school.
I am a member of the Law School's Teaching and Learning Committee (2016 - ).
Previously, I served as the Deputy Head of School, Learning and Teaching (July 2019- July 2021), the Director of the Law and Society Major (2016 - 2019) and on the University Academic Board (December 2014- December 216; December 2016 - December 2018).
