Jennifer is an experienced general litigation lawyer who advises her clients on large and small-scale corporate-commercial litigation matters.

She also advises on intellectual property issues including copyright and software licences, competition and Commerce Commission investigations and health and ageing.
Jennifer regularly undertakes high profile litigation work. Recently she advised an American software company on jurisdictional, contractual and intellectual property matters relating to a software licence agreement, heard in the High Court during an eight-week trial.
