Meet Our Leadership Team
At RTO Legal, our team is led by seasoned legal professionals who are passionate about the VET sector. We invite you to meet the lawyers at the helm of our practice:
Zmarak Zhouand – Principal Solicitor
Zmarak is the Principal Solicitor of RTO Legal and a trusted advisor to RTOs nationwide. Admitted as a lawyer in Australia in 2001 (and also admitted in New York in 2014), he brings over two decades of legal experience to our clients. Zmarak leads our regulatory and commercial practice for training organisations. He advises on all aspects of ASQA compliance and enforcement, including responding to audit findings and sanction notices. He has a strong track record in ART appeals and judicial review cases, helping clients challenge adverse ASQA decisions through merits review and Federal Court proceedings. Zmarak also guides RTOs through complex corporate transactions, such as sales, mergers, and partnerships, ensuring regulatory requirements are met and clients’ interests are protected. His deep sector knowledge and strategic acumen make him an invaluable partner to RTO managers facing high-stakes legal issues.
Aimee Mundt – Principal Solicitor
Aimee is Special Counsel at RTO Legal and leads our litigation and dispute resolution practice. She is an experienced courtroom advocate who represents RTOs in a wide range of disputes. Aimee’s expertise includes commercial litigation – such as contract disputes, shareholder/director conflicts within education businesses, and intellectual property matters (for example, disputes over course materials and branding). She also has significant experience in insolvency-related litigation, advising on matters where RTOs or their principals face bankruptcy, winding-up actions, or complex debt recovery scenarios. Aimee has appeared in both State and Federal Courts, achieving practical, proportionate solutions for her clients. She understands the pressures on educational organisations and works tenaciously to resolve conflicts in a cost-effective manner so that RTOs can return their focus to delivering quality training.
