Having grown up on a farm in country New South Wales, David graduated from the Australian National University with a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Economics in 2014 before being admitted to practice as a solicitor in 2015. 

​

Frustrated with his continued failure to master the art of surfing, David finished his time practicing on the south coast in New South Wales and joined the team of solicitors at Colquhoun Murphy in 2020.

​

​With a diverse history of practice owing to his time in boutique country firms across both rural and coastal settings, David’s time with Colquhoun Murphy has seen a primary focus on the fields of estate planning/administration and commercial law. His experience in estate administration, business and family succession has seen him advise on many complex family arrangements and business and farming structures. David has completed several large merges and acquisitions as part of his commercial practice,.​

​

David is a committee member of the ACT Law Society's Property Law Committee and has previously acted as the director of the Ice Hockey ACT Player Disciplinary Tribunal. 

We caution you against letting any discussion turn to cycling, trail running or gridiron unless you wish to be bored to tears. You are otherwise in safe hands with David.
