Nina Edwards

I commenced my legal career in personal injury in October 2012. Having completed my legal studies at Bond University on the Gold Coast, I was admitted as a lawyer of the Supreme Court of Queensland in 2014. Since that time, I have represented hundreds of survivors of abuse including against individuals, Commonwealth institutions, state institutions, churches, schools, universities and colleges and sporting organisations.

During the early stages of my career, I represented hundreds of survivors of abuse against a Commonwealth entity that were statute barred in their pursuit of justice as a consequence of the expiration of limitation periods. I was tasked to assist in the development and implementation of an alternative dispute resolution process for survivors to seek justice through a compensation framework without the requirement for survivors to proceed through a litigated claim for damages. I acted on behalf of hundreds of survivors of abuse against the Commonwealth organisation, utilizing the process which was then replicated across multiple firms across the country.

I have had the privilege or representing my clients in various settings including in group actions, at trials and in alternative dispute resolution processes.

I strive to ensure that my approach to my client's are trauma-informed, and I communicate in a manner that put my client's health and wellbeing first.

For me, it's an honour and a privilege to be able to represent my courageous clients, and I am continually inspired by the tremendous challenges they overcome in the face of great adversity.

In my spare time, you will find me spending some quality time with my children and extended family.
