With an extensive academic background that includes a Juris Doctor, Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice, and Bachelor of Criminology, Megan brings a wealth of knowledge to her practice. Her career commenced with roles as a prosecutor for the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and Transport for NSW, where she addressed complex issues such as mass, fatigue, and work diary breaches, as well as licence appeals and camera-related offences. This experience provided her with a valuable perspective on the challenges drivers and transport companies face, highlighting the need for accessible legal representation. Before establishing Big Rig Law, Megan gained diverse legal experience at several established firms. Her work at Sydney Law Group involved handling family, estates, criminal, property, and personal injury law matters, underlining her capability in managing urgent legal situations. Her tenure at Vardanega Roberts Solicitors saw her working predominantly with major insurers, which honed her skills in dealing with liability, indemnity, and insurance recoveries. Megan's duties at Everingham Solomons Solicitors focused on dispute resolution, including preparing for criminal and civil litigation, while her volunteer work at the Aboriginal Legal Service deepened her expertise in criminal, family, and children's care and protection law.

She is dedicated to standing up for truck drivers and transport companies, offering them the expertise they need to navigate the legal landscape and continue their vital work in keeping Australia moving.
