Max commenced as a practising barrister in 1979 after completing postgraduate studies in the USA on a Fulbright Scholarship. He was appointed Senior Counsel in 1999.
The focus of his work as a barrister has been on the resolution of workplace issues and employment contract disputes via litigation in Federal and State courts.
Following the training as a Mediator in 1992, Max has also developed a broad based practice in dispute resolution involving the mediation of contractual and other commercial disputes, wills and estates, employment and personal injury matters.
Max sees himself as a “resolutionary” – committed to prevention and early intervention strategies to minimise and deescalate conflict with a focus on fostering better communication and listening skills and on the utilisation of restorative processes.
