About Olivia

At Lawpath, I believe that legal services should be accessible, personable, and effective for each client situation. As Managing Lawyer, I bring a thoughtful approach to each client's unique situation, combining technical expertise with genuine empathy.

My Expertise

I specialise in finding practical solutions for complex legal challenges, with particular focus on:

  • Employment matters and contract drafting;

  • Pre-litigation strategy and dispute resolution;

  • Commercial and business law; and

  • Startup legal frameworks and compliance.

My approach centres on understanding your specific needs and finding the right path forward, whether that involves negotiation, mediation, or strategic planning.

A Personal Touch

When I'm not advocating for clients, you'll likely find me cheering on the Geelong Cats (AFL team) or joining my ocean swimming group for an invigorating morning dip. These pursuits have taught me persistence, community connection, and the importance of balance - values I bring to my legal practice every day.

Client Experience

I've worked across diverse sectors including technology, healthcare, professional services, and retail, supporting Australian businesses of all sizes - from innovative startups to established corporations.

My clients appreciate my ability to blend legal expertise with commercial insight, delivering advice that's both legally sound and business-focused.
