Tricia Wong 
Practice Group Leader, Perth
Asbestos
Tricia Wong knows that asbestos disease does not discriminate.
Her clients come from all walks of life but all are battling the effects of asbestos exposure, many are suffering from malignant conditions and most will have a limited life expectancy.
The satisfaction Trish gains from being able to help them during what is usually a very stressful period in their lives is immense.
Tricia’s commitment to securing the best possible results on their behalf, as quckly as possible, is backed up by what she describes as “Slater & Gordon’s genuine and lengthy track record of standing up for and protecting the rights of injured people”.
Making sure that clients are fully compensated and that the parties responsible are brought to account is a responsibility that she undertakes with compassion, tenacity and a strategic approach to the forensic analysis which accompanies asbestos claims.
Tricia graduated from the University of Western Australia in 1999. She joined Slater & Gordon in 2000 and is the Asbestos Practice Group Leader at the firm’s Perth office.
