Anne has been with Baker McKenzie since 2001. Prior to that, she spent four years with the Australian Attorney-General’s Department/Australian Government Solicitor mostly working on large IT projects.

In her time at Baker McKenzie, Anne has spent 18 months working in London (2007-2008) and, more recently, three years working in Singapore (2017-2020).

In the trade space, her work primarily involves advising on sanctions, customs regulation and import and export restricted items.

Anne regularly leads projects for drafting, localising or rolling out commercial agreements of data protection policies for multiple jurisdictions in Asia Pacific and conducting due diligence for undertaking new activities in Asia Pacific markets.
