She founded Quartz Legal Qld in 2023 with a clear purpose: to create a practice that delivers top-tier legal services while valuing balance, wellbeing, and genuine client relationships.
She practices exclusively in property and business law, representing clients such as bodies corporate, on-site managers, developers, restaurateurs, and other business owners.
After being admitted to practice in January 2006, Vanessa worked across small suburban firms, boutique firms, and national firms, gaining extensive experience in preparing a range of contracts and agreements. Her diverse background means she approaches legal challenges with both precision and creativity.
Vanessa grew up in Brisbane, where she worked as a pharmacy assistant while in high school and law school. That experience instilled strong customer service and problem-solving skills, which she applies daily as a lawyer. She is committed to providing exceptional client service, implementing firm-wide policies to ensure timely, clear communication.
Known for her strong and determined personality, uncompromising standards, and out-of-the-box thinking, Vanessa approaches matters with a can-do attitude to achieve the best results. Becoming a trusted adviser to many clients over her career gave her the confidence to embark on this new chapter.
Vanessa is an active member of the UDIA Property and Community Management Committee, contributing to policy reviews and changes to Property and Body Corporate legislation. She is passionate about learning and sharing knowledge through presentations and speaking engagements.
