Jamie leads the commercial team and can assist with a wide range of matters, including business structuring, mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, commercial contracting and commercial dispute resolution.

Prior to joining Simpson Western he worked at both a large corporate law firm and bank and has also completed post grad finance study and the Institute of Directors governance programme. This experience and training has helped Jamie develop a diverse skillset that is now focussed on assisting closely held companies and business owners as they navigate the business life cycle.

 

“My approach is to work actively with clients to understand their business and to help them develop a team of strong financial, accounting and legal advisors who can add value with implementing strategy and dealing with issues as they arise.”
