Taslyn’s passion for the construction and building industry stems from her prior experience in project management within the health infrastructure sector. This hands-on experience has enhanced her understanding of the construction industry at large.
Before joining KCL Law, Taslyn worked at a boutique construction law firm, where she focused on advising homeowners in domestic building defects disputes, negligence claims and insurance matters. This experience has equipped her with a unique perspective, enabling her to approach cases from different perspectives, delivering innovative solutions and commercially sound advice.
Taslyn graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws with Honours and was admitted to practice law in 2022. Since then, she has continually expanded her knowledge and skills to stay at the forefront of construction law developments.
