Dean heads the following practice groups: Competition & Market Regulation, E-Commerce, Franchising, Information Technology, International, Marketing Law, Product Liability, Privacy, Sports & Entertainment and Telecommunications.

Dean previously worked as a lawyer at Mallesons and Telstra and as a management consultant at McKinsey & Co. It was in those roles that Dean identified the need for lawyers to change the way they do things and provide legal solutions from the client-back, not the lawyer-out. Rotstein Lockwood Reddy does exactly that.

Dean is recognized across Australia as a leading telecommunications lawyer and advises a significant number of telecommunications businesses - including equipment manufacturers, platform vendors, software developers and telecommunications dealers, licensors, licensees, franchisors and franchisees. Dean also has a passion for India, traveling to India and working with clients in Our Australia India Corridor.

In the past year, Dean has been interviewed on the leading investigatory journalism program on Australian television 'Four Corners' (in relation to managed investment schemes) and been quoted in the business section of Australia's national newspaper, The Australian (in relation to telecommunications retailers).

In addition to his tertiary qualifications, Dean has completed business training with McKinsey & Co. in North America, where he was taught by some of the world's leading academics, including thought-leaders from Harvard, Insead and Kellogg Universities. Dean describes the learning environment at McKinsey & Co. as akin to trying to drink from an open fire hydrant.

Dean is fluent in English and his Spanish skills are improving daily on account of his growing South American family (who are improving their own language skills by learning Hindi).
