DANIELLE FUNSTON, PARTNER, MADDOCKS
Danielle, a Partner at Maddocks, is an experienced lawyer specialising in Restructuring and Insolvency. She advises insolvency practitioners, banks and corporations across a wide range of industries, including property, construction, retail, hospitality, automotive, aviation and agriculture.
Danielle is recognised as an expert in remuneration, having run a number of remuneration applications including Idylic Solutions Pty Limited [2016] NSWSC 1292, in which Black J of the Supreme Court of NSW reaffirmed that time-cost charging is an appropriate method of calculating remuneration in circumstances where there is sufficient evidence to justify the remuneration sought. That judgment was the first to buck the trend in limiting or reducing practitioner remuneration by reference to a proportion of the funds recovered and set out the high level of evidential detail that may be required to succeed in seeking emuneration on a time -cost basis. The decision has been followed in a number of subsequent decisions, including Sanderson as Liquidator of Sakr Nominees.
