Peer Legal is pleased to announce the return of Tobi Rosengarten as a Senior Associate, reinforcing the firm’s capabilities in advisory and disputes.

Tobi is a seasoned commercial lawyer with a broad spectrum of experience spanning both public and private sectors. Her expertise includes litigation, contract law, and regulatory compliance, with a strong track record of advising on complex legal matters.

Tobi began her legal journey at Peer Legal as a paralegal in 2021. She later joined MinterEllison, completing their graduate program and settling in the Climate, Competition and Technology group as a regulatory lawyer. During her tenure, she advised the Victorian Government on major renewable energy and transmission infrastructure projects, and contributed to energy law reform initiatives. Her portfolio also included advisory work on administrative and commercial matters for key stakeholders such as VicGrid, the Department of Premier and Cabinet, WorkSafe Victoria, the Australian Energy Market Operator, and Jemena.

In a move reflecting her commitment to social justice, Tobi transitioned to the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service (VALS), where she practiced as a criminal lawyer. There, she advocated for vulnerable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients in the Magistrates’ Court, further deepening her understanding of community legal needs.

Now returning to Peer Legal as a Senior Associate, Tobi brings a wealth of experience and a multidisciplinary perspective. She will focus on assisting clients with regulatory advice, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, and guiding clients through dispute resolution across jurisdictions.

Tobi’s return marks a significant enhancement to Peer Legal’s service offering, aligning with the firm’s commitment to delivering agile, informed, and client-focused legal solutions.
