LTL: Introducing Jennifer Coburn
It is with great pleasure that I introduce the newest member of LTL: Jennifer Coburn, who has joined us as Special Counsel.
Well known to many of our state government readers, Jennifer was admitted to practice in 2001 and has spent her career specialising in environment and planning law.
Prior to joining LTL, Jennifer had many years’ experience working in various NSW state government agencies, including most recently as Executive Director Legal (Corporate) at Sydney Metro and prior to that as Director Environment & Heritage Litigation at the Department of Planning & Environment.
Jennifer specializes in assisting her clients with a broad range of matters including prosecution work for all matters related to environment and heritage, judicial review matters, investigations and inquiries (including coronial inquiries), governance and probity matters and fraud and corruption prevention.
Having spent many years advising internal State Government clients, Jennifer has a unique understanding of the complexities and challenges that regulatory agencies often face when involved in litigation or when making decisions that affect the community, as well as the need for strong governance frameworks to support decision making.
Jennifer has a particular interest and expertise in regulatory and investigations matters, having both appeared and instructed counsel in a wide range of matters in the local and Land and Environment Court dealing with environmental offences as varied as damaging NSW National Parks and State forests, licensing offences and land clearing.
As well as regulatory matters, Jennifer has advised on a wide range of other matters including work health and safety, employment law, access to information and privacy.
On behalf of everyone at LTL, I warmly welcome Jennifer to the team. Like all of our lawyers, Jennifer will be available to work for all of our clients, and our partners look forward to introducing her to you and your organisation over the coming months.
