Peninsula student returns as solicitor

A general practice law firm in Woy Woy has employed Ms Davina Borrow-Jones as a senior associate solicitor.

Tonkin Drysdale Partners managing partner Mr Darrell Pannowitz said Ms Borrow-Jones came to the company with "a wealth of experience as a commercial lawyer".

Ms Borrow-Jones has worked in banking and finance with Gadens Lawyers in Sydney as well as in the commercial division with Kells Lawyers at Wollongong.

Following obtaining her law degree in 2005, she travelled overseas and worked with the London firm of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw and Pittman and worked in information technology and intellectual property.

"We are very excited to have Davina aboard," said Mr Pannowitz.

"She brings to us experience in areas that we are thrilled to develop such as superannuation trust fund deed development and borrowing.

"Davina has been active in property and commercial leasing and will continue in these areas with us," he said.

Ms Borrow-Jones was raised on the Peninsula and attended Gosford High School.

She has recently returned home from travel in Europe, USA and Nepal.

During her time overseas she worked as a volunteer lawyer for International Bridges of Justice in Geneva.

"We look forward to the contribution she will make at Tonkins," said Mr Pannowitz.
