About Kirby
Kirby acts for major banks, non-institutional lenders and corporate borrowers in real estate, development and construction financing transactions. Her technical skills and ability to apply a commercial lens ensures that deals proceed expeditiously and potential obstacles are anticipated in advance.
Kirby advises clients across all aspects of finance transactions, from due diligence and security documentation through to legislative compliance and complex advisory work. She regularly advises on the disposal of real estate assets, including distressed asset sales on behalf of mortgagees and receivers.
Through her secondment with a leading Australian bank and legal practice in Canada, Kirby has become a go-to practitioner in the area of personal property securities law. She is often called upon by the firm’s SME and corporate client base to advise on compliance with the PPSA post implementation in Australia.
