Geoff came to the firm in 2016 after a long career with the NSW Department of Justice, and now leads a broad practice with particular expertise in family provision claims.
Following a long career with the NSW Department of Justice, Geoff joined the firm in 2016. He was appointed Associate in 2017 and Partner in 2020.
Geoff maintains a broad practice, acting for clients in wills and estates, contested wills, residential and commercial conveyancing, retail and commercial leasing, the sale and purchase of businesses, commercial law, administrative law (government, licensing and regulatory) and civil litigation.
He has particular expertise in family provision claims - what most people know as contesting a will. Geoff regularly acts for people who have not been sufficiently provided for in a will, and just as often for executors defending those claims. Seeing both sides of these matters means he can give well-rounded, sound advice at every stage.
Geoff also takes a keen interest in the emerging area of elder law, advising clients and their families on succession planning, the appointment of Enduring Powers of Attorney and Enduring Guardians, retirement village contracts, deeds of guarantee in relation to finance agreements, and reverse mortgages. Conscious of the firm's service to the people of the Central Coast across more than two generations, Geoff focuses on earning the trust his clients place in him. He is based at the Tuggerah office.
