Jess Hill

Jess is not your average lawyer. Working in our commercial, disputes and employment teams, she is in tune with the often complex intersection of business requirements.

Jess' litigation work has seen her appear in state and federal courts, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and the Fair Work Commission. She also has a thriving practice working with registered training organisations (RTOs).

Jess works tirelessly to help her clients achieve their objectives, and injects genuine passion into her work. Jess also has a green thumb. Whether it is in the garden or at work, Jess is always prepared to find pragmatic solutions to any challenges that arise.
