Nicole brings more than 25 years of legal and commercial experience gained across Australia, the Middle East, and the United Kingdom. Combining this extensive expertise with a deep understanding of negotiation dynamics, she helps clients navigate complex negotiations and disputes, saving them time, money, and unnecessary stress.
Some examples of Nicole’s work include:
A business owner approached Nicole seeking support to separate from his co-owner. The co-owner had already appointed a lawyer, and the client was concerned the process would become difficult, lengthy, and expensive. Nicole worked closely with him to develop a clear negotiation strategy and represented his interests throughout discussions with the lawyer. The negotiations resulted in an agreement that secured ownership of the business for her client at a reasonable price and on favourable terms. The transaction was completed efficiently, with Nicole providing guidance throughout the process and working alongside the lawyers to ensure the agreement was properly documented and executed
Nicole has also worked extensively with sales teams to improve commercial outcomes. For a national waste management company, she designed and delivered a training program for the sales team focused on negotiation and deal-making skills. Within two months, the team reported significant improvements, including shorter sales cycles, an increase in completed deals, and less time spent pursuing opportunities that were unlikely to close.
