Jenny joined Butler McIntyre Butler in 2006. She works in the areas of criminal and civil litigation, including worker’s compensation law, personal injury claims, and MAIB claims.

Jenny studied Law at the University of Tasmania and graduated with First Class Honours in 2000. Her academic success led to her joining the Law Faculty’s academic staff, tutoring in criminal law and evidence law.

From 2001 to 2005 she was the Executive Officer of the Tasmanian Law Reform Institute. This involved consulting, researching and writing about a wide range of legal issues requiring reform in Tasmania. She frequently finds that the skills she gained in that position – consultation and research skills and an ability to critically examine and analyse the law (both its detail and the policy it is founded on) – are a real asset to her current clients. Jenny has a strong sense of justice and fights hard to achieve the best outcome for her clients.

Jenny comes from a large family and has two children of her own, so she understands the pressures and demands of modern life. She brings that experience to her practice and interacts with her clients in a sensitive and understanding manner. At the same time, she’s a straight-talker, giving clear explanations, honest advice, and a down-to-earth, practical approach.

Before graduating Jenny lived and worked in Japan for three years, a great experience, but one which also enhanced her appreciation of the beauty of Tasmania and Australia and our lifestyle.

Jenny plays basketball in a social roster (which involves a lot of laughs), supports the Geelong Football Club (Go Cats!) and counts skydiving as one of her achievements!
