Jason graduated with a Bachelor of Laws degree from Monash University in 2000, working at a senior level in both commercial and regulatory settings before coming to the Victorian Bar in 2014.
Jason now practises primarily in family law with an emphasis on contentious and complex matters and matters that are likely to proceed to trial.
He regularly appears in Magellan cases and for the Independent Children’s Lawyer. Jason is also an effective mediator and particularly valuable in mediations that call for well informed reality testing.
Jason accepts pro bono work only through the Victorian Bar Pro Bono Scheme, administered by Justice Connect.
