More than just a team of skilled legal experts.

Daniel, or 'Dan' is a self-confessed nerd who grew up amidst the hammering and sawing of a family full of tradies in Brisbane.

Unconventional in his path to law, Dan balanced full-time work with studies at QUT, earning his stripes across different firms before bringing his expertise to Bluewater.

He’ll often greet you with his modest introduction of 'pretending to be a lawyer' —but don’t let that fool you. Dan is a force to be reckoned with, known for his technically minded and commercially driven approach. He prides himself on applying his knowledge to practicality, driving the best outcomes for his clients.

Dan's devotion to clients runs deep. Within three weeks of starting at Bluewater, he spent almost every day with a client during a challenging seven-year litigation, visiting his client’s business and travelling worldwide with him. This dedication led to a lasting friendship they still have today.

But this level of client dedication is not unique to Dan alone—it’s the Bluewater way. Many of our clients continue to connect with us socially long after their legal matters are resolved. Our approach isn’t just about achieving a legal outcome, we build a supportive relationship when our clients go through some of the toughest times in their lives.

Dan believes in focusing on practical reality, not just the process and law. His mantra to clients? "Focus on what is ahead of you when this madness ends."

With Dan on your side, you're not just getting a lawyer; you're gaining a dedicated ally and a friend for the journey ahead.
