Commercial Litigation Property Lawyers

Proud History, Bold Future, Since 1834

David Ovens

Lawyer

I work in the Litigation and Dispute Resolution team, practising across a wide range of commercial and related disputes.

I am experienced in advising, and advocating for, clients in relation to debt disputes and recovery, contractual and construction disputes, child sex abuse claims, employment, family violence and restraint orders.

 

Prior to joining DMA, I spent two years as Associate to Deputy President Ellis at the Tasmanian Industrial Commission. My time with the Commission fostered a passion for advocacy, where I assisted with hearings, mediations and legal research in the fields of employment law and industrial relations.

 

I’m a passionate chorister, and plenty of my spare time is taken up rehearsing and singing in concerts with various groups across Hobart. When I’m not busy performing, you will likely find me addicted to the latest comedy show or enjoying a boardgame with friends.
