Jack practises in public and commercial law.
Before coming to the Bar, Jack was a solicitor at the Victorian Government Solicitor’s Office, where he practised primarily in administrative law, constitutional law, and planning and environment law. He advised government departments and agencies on a wide range of issues, and he instructed in matters before VCAT, the Supreme Court of Victoria, and the High Court of Australia.
