As a Senior Practice Leader in the Medical Law team at Slater and Gordon, I am proud to help those who have been injured as a result of medical negligence achieve the compensation, justice and support they deserve.

I truly understand the complex challenges you can face after being injured, and I’m passionate about helping you feel supported and understood through the compensation process.

I am based in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), however I run complex medical negligence claims in multiple jurisdictions, including New South Wales (NSW), Queensland, South Australia (SA) and Western Australia (WA).

Prior to joining Slater and Gordon I worked in insurance litigation, acting on behalf of the major insurers in professional indemnity, public liability, workers compensation and motor vehicle accident claims. My experience in both sides of compensation law means I have a unique insight into how insurers work.

After joining Slater and Gordon in February 2013 as an Associate, I took over the ACT Medical Law practice in July 2013. I was promoted to Senior Associate in 2015 and Principal Lawyer in early 2017. I supervised the Queensland Medical Law practice from 2017 until mid-2019, before being promoted to Practice Leader Medical Law NSW and ACT in 2022. In 2024, I was promoted to Senior Practice Leader.

Liam Casey at Slater & Gordon (Canberra Office) managed my medical negligence claim. I found him from the outset to be informative, empathetic and practical. I cannot sing his praises enough. Liam and his colleagues were awesome in a time of a life changing event and ensured this was addressed appropriately. Liam communicated in a clear and comprehensive manner to enable me to provide informed instructions in my matter. I do not hesitate in recommending Liam to anyone seeking a good person and lawyer to represent them when they're allegedly wronged. My family and I will always be very thankful and appreciative that we had Liam and his colleagues on our side. Our matter was resolved successfully. Thank you Liam and Slater & Gordon!”

Feedback from our clients

We sought legal help for a Medical Negligence matter. We considered multiple law offices but Liam Casey at Slater & Gordon personally took interest in our circumstance and looked into our case. He explained the steps needed to start our case in a manner that was easy to understand. Unfortunately, in our matter, time was precious and Liam worked quickly and diligently. Liam and the team were very professional and showed great empathy throughout our time with them. Furthermore, it quickly became very apparent that Liam knew his craft very well and was extremely confident and knowledgeable in his field. This quickly put our minds at ease, as initially we were hesitant with a process that appeared daunting.We were regularly kept informed of the matter and how things were progressing. He also kept us well informed of the process in a manner we could easily understand and he gave clear, reasoned instructions for us to consider. Any time we had questions and queries, we found they were quickly attended to.Throughout proceedings, we never felt alone where they didn’t just have our back, they were out front, leading our fight and we had complete confidence with Liam and his team’s handling of our case. We had no doubt our interests were their top priority and they wanted to achieve the best outcome for us.We have no hesitation in recommending Liam and the team at Slater & Gordon. We are supremely confident that anyone utilising his services will not be disappointed.Our family would like to sincerely thank Liam Casey and the Slater & Gordon team not just for their work and the fantastic result, but also importantly, their genuine empathy and care during what is sadly, the worst time of our life. Thank You Liam.Sarah.
