What Our Clients Say:

  • Nigel-Dickson(1)Nigel Dickson
    I have worked with David for almost 20 years dealing with a broad range of planning and local government disputes throughout NSW. He consistently demonstrates extraordinary technical skill combined with an uncanny strategic approach that always gets to the heart of the matter…. and with a solution to match.

  • handshakeGrieg and Margaret Jacobsen
    When we briefed Baird Lawyers we had not undertaken any litigation in the Land and Environment Court before. David made us feel as though we understood every step of the process, and his ability to explain complex issues in ordinary language really assisted us. He navigated a path through the dispute and delivered an amazing outcome. He really understood the pressure that litigation generates. We highly recommend him.

    Since the 1990s I have been working with David, and although the legislation and regulatory framework continues to evolve, he remains at the forefront of professional practice in the field of planning law. David is best summed up as a Lawyer you can count on, is trustworthy, and is a great person to work with.

    In the past 25 years that I have known David, he has acted for many Councils on a variety of matters, and has always shown great competency and skill. He is a legal practitioner that not only has a thorough knowledge of the law, but combines this with a keen strategic appraisal of the issues.

    I have worked with David for over 10 years at Local Government Procurement. He acted for us right at the beginning of our journey, assisting us to obtain the Minister’s consent for our commercial activities. He has also spoken at a number of our industry seminars. David is a great communicator and always accessible when you need him.
