Insurance companies and self-insureds need to know that lawyers will fairly, but vigorously, defend claims whilst acting within corporate business objectives. This need drives the way we work and we represent a significant number of large insurers, self-insureds and claims managers.
Our insurance law practice has over fifteen lawyers and skilled staff, including three partners. All are experienced in managing complex and high volume routine claims. All have insurance claims management experience and an established network of medical and other professionals to assist in managing claims.
In Western Australia, the role of advocacy in the Conciliation & Review Directorate is crucial. We understand this and our advocates are former insurance claims officers with practical insurance industry experience.
