Her practise centres on supporting strong Indigenous governments through law and policy development, contract drafting and negotiation, and dispute resolution in the areas of environmental law, financial administration, taxation, land management, housing, employment, elections and citizenship. She also advises Indigenous non-profits and charities at all stages from start-up through to on-going operations and growth.
