Whilst completing his degree, Ross also worked at the Probate and the Court of Appeal registries of the Supreme Court of Western Australia which provided him with an insight and understanding of the Court’s practice and procedure.

Following his admission, Ross worked as general commercial lawyer for a number of years before deciding to specialise in his current practice area of Estate Planning and Deceased Estates.
