Alice has a busy practice and focuses on providing her national clients with exceptional service by ensuring she understands their business to deliver commercial advice and outcomes in the most cost-effective way.
Alice assists in representing clients and appearing in all Court jurisdictions to resolve and/or defend a broad range of commercial disputes including unfair preference claims, personal insolvency, corporate insolvency, and the Personal Properties Security Act. Alice has a strong background in credit management and has experience in providing advice to clients about their terms and conditions, including to ensure they have enforceable terms in both national and international jurisdictions.
Through Lynch Meyer’s strategic partnership with Platinum Collection Agency, Alice works closely with a number of schools and educational institutions to achieve practical and cost-effective solutions to collect outstanding tuition and other charges.
