Gavan is also an experienced litigator, with many years of commercial litigation experience and an ability to unravel complex and detailed issues so as to achieve practical commercial outcomes. He possesses a practical knowledge of the application of the Income Tax Acts in relation to the preservation and use of tax losses and capital gains tax on property and business transactions and has extensive knowledge of the Transfer of Land Act and Landgate procedures.
Gavan is a highly experienced lawyer with a reputation for a pragmatic approach to resolving problems and advocates looking at issues holistically rather than just as a legal problem.

He is a strategic thinker who is a very experienced trouble shooter and easily operates in fluid environments. He will apply a detailed analysis to issues but does not suffer from paralysis by analysis.”
