As a Practice Leader at Slater and Gordon, I feel privileged to help clients get answers to avoid medical mistakes being repeated. I feel humbled to play a part in the lives of injured patients. My clients often feel, rightly, aggrieved and understandably mistrusting in the medical profession, and that makes it even more important for me to be available for clients, and to help them get answers when things have gone wrong.

I've led cases involving many different types of medical negligence - from missed diagnoses by a GP, to injuries to babies during childbirth, cases involving amputation and spinal injuries, and cases where doctors have failed to diagnose stroke. Medical negligence claims often involve traumatic and complex incidents, and I strive to ensure clients feel supported and informed through the process.

I have experience working across various different jurisdictions, including New South Wales, Queensland and England & Wales.

Feedback from our clients

Slater and Gordon have helped me through the most difficult experience of my life! I initially started my claim with a lawyer from the Brisbane office but then he moved on and was promptly replaced with Anna Hansen from SYD. At first I was apprehensive about the sudden change as it left me with a lot of uncertainty. However, it ended up being the best change that could’ve happened because the communication got easier and the evidence got stronger and Anna worked tirelessly with her team to secure me a positive result on the very first mediation. The team made me feel so comfortable and went out of their way to keep me calm and relaxed on the day. Turns out I had no reason to be anxious! They made sure I understood everything that was happening over the course of the entire claim. Anna has a really clear way of explaining things where other lawyers would normally explain things in a way that’s more confusing. Overall, I would highly recommend Slater and Gordon for anyone wanting to sue for medical related claims.All I had to do was show up to appointments when needed and Slater did the rest! Thanks Anna and team for securing me a positive outcome! Excited to move on with life now!
