Our highly experienced Medical Malpractice team offers expertise across all medical indemnity issues and delivers legal services across the full medico-legal spectrum.

We work with medical defence organisations, insurers, healthcare professionals and healthcare institutions to manage medical negligence claims, coronial investigations, inquests and commissions of inquiry. 

Our proactive national team identifies and monitors global, national and local medico-legal trends. This helps us to provide the very best legal service, as we assist with matters ranging from basic ‘slipping claims’ in hospitals through to complex litigation involving multi-factorial, catastrophic medical events.
