Stella has more than 20 years' experience in leasing and licensing (commercial, retail and industrial) and has an excellent understanding of both landlord and tenant concerns in part due to her considerable in-house legal experience with both a national retailer and property developer prior to returning to private practice in 2008. Her expertise in commercial tenancy law is further solidified by her accreditation as a Law Institute of Victoria Accredited Specialist in Commercial Tenancy Law.

Stella has acted for both government and private sector landlords and tenants including a number of retailers in respect of their leases across Australia and for various landlords in respect of their leasing portfolios. She also specialises in lease disputes drawing upon her experience as a property litigator in the United Kingdom.
