Career
Trevor is a home-grown Allen & Overy lawyer, who trained and spent about 7 years at A&O in London, before spending time as a Senior Solicitor at Mishcon de Reya and then moving to the Commercial Bar as a Barrister. This pedigree and English law qualification (in addition to his Australian law standing) enabled Trevor to compete for top-tier work, and helped him garner a reputation for being an ‘international lawyer’ in Australia.
Trevor is ranked in The Legal 500 Australia and Doyles Guide New South Wales for litigation, and has built a reputation for being a thought leader in insolvency litigation in Australia, and a go-to lawyer for complex disputes and conflict referrals.
Trevor is regularly sought out to advise boards – and is known for his hands-on approach, attention to detail and speed at which he can deliver considered and dependable advice. This has led to Trevor and Ironbridge Legal becoming go-to lawyers for PwC, Deloitte liquidators, Bosch and other household names.
