I am proud to facilitate access to justice for our clients as a member of the Medical Law team at Slater and Gordon. Helping injured people navigate some of the most difficult times in their lives in a responsibility that motivates me and drives my work every day.

For much of my legal career, I worked representing hospitals and medical practitioners in medical malpractice cases. My experience has provided me with a solid foundation and deep understanding of how medical negligence claims are assessed and defended. Over time I felt a pull to do something different - to use my experience and insight for those who need a dedicated and compassionate advocate in their corner.

Alongside my law degree, I completed a degree in human biology, which assists greatly in understanding the nuances of complex medical negligence cases. I take the time to grasp the details, understand the issues, and build a case that gives my clients a fair chance at being heard.

Choosing to represent plaintiffs was the right choice for me, as it allows me to make a real difference for everyday people. I understand how overwhelming it can be to take legal action after a medical injury, however, I endeavour to make the legal process as clear and straightforward as possible, while working tirelessly to get the outcome my clients deserve.

Feedback from our clients

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Daniella Murphy (Dani) and the Slater and Gordon team at the Sydney office. Dani took over my case towards the end of my claim and expertly guided me through the mediation process. Her kindness, care, and compassionate nature immediately put me at ease during what was a challenging time. Dani’s knowledge and professionalism were outstanding, and her support played a significant role in achieving the successful outcome we had hoped for. I cannot recommend Dani and the Slater and Gordon Sydney team highly enough. Thank you once again for your dedication and for helping me achieve a positive resolution in my medical negligence claim.
