Emily Davies

I joined Slater and Gordon in 2016 as a legal assistant in our Motor Vehicle Accident team during which time I gained invaluable knowledge of the TAC scheme.

Since being admitted as a lawyer, I have continued to work in our Motor Vehicle Accident team, and have also joined our Workers’ Compensation team representing clients injured on the road or at work in statutory benefits, impairment, serious injury and damages claims.

I understand that the Workers’ Compensation and TAC schemes can be complex and so my approach is client centred and focused on maintaining open communication. I am dedicated to answering my client's questions and helping them navigate the legal process, whilst ensuring that they understand their rights and options at each stage of their claim.

Although I am proud of all outcomes achieved on behalf of my clients, one memorable case was receiving an impairment benefit of more than $660,000 for a client who had suffered a brain injury at work. Given the client’s condition, we were able to obtain this outcome within 12 weeks of him contacting Slater and Gordon, giving him and his family financial security during what was a very difficult period in their lives.
