Tim O’Byrne
LAW CLERK
CONTACT
With nearly 20 years of experience working across Engineering & Design, Construction & Project Management, Business, and Strategy, my shift to a career in Law brings a unique, practical perspective to my legal work. Having experienced the challenges of small business and the scale of multi-national corporations, as well as working across Australia, Asia, Europe, and North America, I understand a range of operational and strategic challenges clients face. This hands-on experience helps me connect with clients to understand both their needs and legal concerns, and to find suitable practical solutions.
My primary interest is in litigation, particularly in contract and commercial disputes, corporate law and business-related legal issues. I’m passionate about helping clients navigate these complex areas, whether it’s resolving disputes, advising on strategic decisions, or addressing matters that may impact somebody’s success. My diverse background in business and engineering equips me with the tools to approach legal challenges pragmatically and with a strategic mindset.
I hold qualifications in Mining Engineering and Land Surveying, Project Management, a Graduate Certificate of Business from Edith Cowan University, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Western Australia, and am near completion of my Juris Doctor of Laws (JD) from Deakin University in Melbourne.
What motivates me is the opportunity to help clients find clear, effective solutions during difficult times. By combining my experience, technical expertise, and legal training, I want to focus on delivering clients of Slee Anderson & Pidgeon the support and confidence they need throughout the legal process. Transparency and communication are central to my approach, ensuring that clients always feel informed, empowered, and never alone.
