Prior to commencing his career in law, Felix’s worked in the Information Technology sector. He maintains his interest in that field by studying the application of law to developments within IT and technology driven markets such as e-commerce, online security and contracts.

Felix recognises that the modern practice of the law is ultimately a service industry and his approach to litigious matters is resolution driven and cost effective. Given that the majority of Felix’s clients are already involved in litigation or facing litigation, he considers it important that the litigation delivers prompt results at a reasonable cost.

  1. Franchising and Trade Practices Act litigation in the Federal Court of Australia

  3. Land possession applications and caveat enforcements in the Supreme Court
  4. Bankruptcy proceedings

Felix speaks fluent German.
