I also have extensive expertise in the areas of life insurance claims, general liability, professional indemnity and discrimination law. These areas complement my health practice. My liability experience focuses mostly on NSW State Government clients, where my professional indemnity and life insurance experience includes providing legal services to many of Australia’s biggest financial institutions, as well as many trustees of large superannuation funds.

I am known for my litigation skills and strategy as well as assisting clients negotiate the challenging time of engaging with regulators, particularly my health clients when they are being investigated by the NSW State Coroner or the Health Care Complaints Commission. My focus is always on partnering with my clients to find workable and commercial solutions, while being ever mindful of the importance of managing possible risks to their reputations.
