Starting her career as a receptionist in a law firm while completing a dual degree in business and law part-time, Tori has worked her way up through every layer of legal practice. That hands-on experience gives her a practical, end-to-end understanding of how legal matters really unfold for clients. Tori has a rare, ground-up understanding of legal practice and a deep respect for the operational realities of running a business.
Since joining The Small Business Lawyer in 2021, Tori has become a trusted adviser to small business owners across Australia. Her areas of expertise include contract drafting, commercial and retail leasing, business sales and acquisitions, risk management, shareholder and partnership matters, franchising, and general commercial structuring and advisory.
With a business background to complement her legal training, Tori approaches every matter with commercial strategy front of mind. She understands that for small business owners, legal issues are personal. Legal documents aren’t just paperwork, but rather vital tools to protect value and reduce risk.
Tori is known for rolling up her sleeves, handling the complexities behind the scenes, and delivering clear, practical advice that empowers her clients to make confident decisions. She does the heavy lifting so her clients can focus on running their businesses.
She works closely with business owners at every stage to ensure they achieve strong commercial outcomes without unnecessary stress. She loves building long-term relationships with her clients and being part of their journey from first lease to exit sale and everything in between.
