"Marie has a rare combination of sharp legal expertise in IP and screen production, and the ability to actually communicate it clearly to creative people. She makes complex licensing and development agreements feel manageable rather than terrifying. Genuinely one of the good ones."

K Varitimos, Product Manager, Disney+ ANZ

"Marie has a strong ability to identify key considerations early and see the bigger picture, supporting well-rounded decisions. She is incredibly reliable, responsive, timely, and dedicated. A fantastic legal partner to have."

Kylie Connell, former colleague, Legal Dept, FremantleMedia Australia

"Marie's intellectual property expertise and can-do attitude were invaluable as we worked across a broad spectrum of TV development and production projects, including music-focused programming."

ACB, Senior Partnerships Account Manager, Disney+ ANZ

"I had the pleasure of working with Marie across several projects, where her expertise in brand protection and IP was consistently evident. Detail-oriented even under pressure, she has a brilliant ability to translate complex legal concepts into clear, practical advice."
