Career

Bernice has a broad-ranging commercial-disputes practice, but her specialities are insolvency and debt recovery, shareholder disputes, compulsory land acquisition, State taxes and Federal tax disputes. She is sought out for her sound technical advice, along with her straight-talking and commercially pragmatic approach to protecting the interests of her clients.

Bernice’s forte is managing and resolving complex claims. She has a proven track record of being able to quickly get to the factual and legal heart of a dispute, assemble and analyse evidence and develop solutions for her clients, regularly collaborating with a broader team of the client’s advisors. Getting a practical result for her clients is paramount, with those clients including insolvency practitioners, financial institutions, debtors, unsecured creditors, and company directors and shareholders.
