Bridie Walsh

I am an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law and Practice Leader in the Medical Law team at Slater & Gordon Lawyers. I am driven by my passion for fighting for the rights of individual Plaintiff's where they have been injured by medical malpractice.

Growing up in a large family in Country NSW and attending University in inner-city Melbourne, I proudly advocate for Plaintiff’s from all areas and walks of life. I have a vast knowledge of medicine, the law and bring a strong but compassionate approach to all aspects of a claim.

I do not take on cases lightly, and pride myself on honesty and integrity when advising clients of their prospects of success. That being said, I do not shy away from a hard claim, and am known for pushing cases to their utmost for all clients whether they are multimillion-dollar settlements for catastrophic injuries or more modest settlements for less serious injuries. I fight both with equal measure.

I have a particular interest in cases involving delayed diagnosis of cancer, emergency medicine, birth injuries and stroke cases but enjoy working on any and all cases that come through my door.

In addition to medical law, I run a pro bono practice assisting NDIS participants in appeals to Administrative Appeals Tribunal (which I take on a pro rata basis). I strongly believe in this important work and have trained up many practitioners (both within the firm and externally) to take on similar work. I regularly present both within Slater and Gordon and to the external community of lawyers, social workers and doctor’s, on the value of this pro bono work.

Outside of my work in the law I publish regularly in academic journals, play violin and am an avid football fanatic, currently playing as a loose half-forward flanker at a local club in the inner north of Melbourne.

I am always up for a chat, so feel free to give me a call.
