ROSIE PHILLIPS

Rosie is admitted to the Supreme Court of NSW and the High Court of Australia. She practices in criminal and traffic law in Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Central Coast courts.   Rosie is a member of the New South Wales Law Society as well as a member of Legal Aid NSW Private Lawyer panel. 

Rosie has over a decade of legal experience, practising predominantly in criminal and traffic law.

After her admission as a lawyer, she worked as tipstaff to a Justice of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. This role provided invaluable insight into the practice, procedure and inner-workings of the highest court in the State. 

Since that time, she has worked in several legal centres, including the National Children’s and Youth Law Centre (now, Youth Law Australia), Redfern Legal Centre, and the Australian Pro Bono Centre at the University of New South Wales. She has also worked in a top-tier firm in Sydney. 

Rosie is passionate about criminal defence. She understands that a person chargedwith an offence is often made to feel like an “offender” before any findings are made against them. Rosie treats her clients with empathy and understanding, and gives them an opportunity to be heard. The passion she has for her job, together with her extensive experience, allows Rosie to deliver strong advocacy and practical advice in the most challenging circumstances. 

If you or your loved one have been charged with an offence and you would like to speak with Rosie directly, submit your contact information and Rosie will be in touch.
