I’m Legal Counsel practising solely in Slater and Gordon’s New South Wales Asbestos & Dust Diseases team with over 15 years cross jurisdictional legal experience in Australia and the UK. I also have a background working in healthcare as a senior intensive care nurse, which has given me a unique understanding of health services and many transferable skills which I have found to be invaluable when dealing with terminally ill clients and their families.

I work closely with my clients and their families to help them navigate the complexities of the legal & statutory systems to ensure they and their loved ones receive a just and fair outcome. I feel I have done my job well when I can minimise my clients’ stress and guide and support them through the process of obtaining compensation, allowing them time to focus on more important aspects of their life as they face the difficulties of living with an incurable illness.

I believe my unique and combined nursing and cross jurisdictional legal training, offers a complete service to my clients.

I look forward to helping and supporting people suffering with an asbestos and/or silica dust related disease, with their journey.

Feedback from our clients

Slater and Gordon Lawyers went above and beyond to help our family through an extremely difficult time. Our family had a lot to deal with in a short period of time and Raelene Lingam and her team were kind, caring and patient as they guided us through the legal process. Raelene went to a great deal of trouble to ensure we understood every step, were put at ease and did not need to worry about the claim. Raelene and her team including Ashley Watson were professional, efficient, caring and respectful throughout our dealings with them especially in my fathers last days. Raelene would call often to keep us up to date or to find out how my mother and the family were coping. I would highly recommend Raelene Lingam and her team at Slater Gordon. Thank you so much Raelene for being so kind and for everything you did for our family.

I could not recommend anyone more highly than these guys, they got me through one of , if not the most challenging situations of my life ,, there were hiccups along the way but I knew to trust the process and at no point did I not have full faith in the team handling my case,, and although i can’t get my health back that I’ve lost to silicosis the outcome has made things much more comfortable and lifted a lot of weight off my shoulders ,and big thank you from myself and my children to Raelene, Nicole, Hannah and Brianna and everybody else involved for everything you guys did it means a lot .

Raelene Lingam from the Asbestos team at Slater and Gordon is amazing! Raelene is extremely knowledgeable and an expert in the compensation process for Mesothelioma. Throughout the whole legal process Raelene was extremely supportive, respectful and compassionate. Raelene and her team, including Ashley, Brieanna and Amy, went above and beyond for us. Through this difficult time, they always treated us with kindness, empathy and consideration. They made sure we felt comfortable with the process all the way through. Raelene explained everything, kept us informed and answered all our questions – no question was too small or inconvenient. We received phone calls regularly to keep us informed and to check up on how we were going with everything. Raelene obtained a compensation for us well above our expectation. We highly recommend Raelene and her team to anyone. We can’t thank you enough Raelene for all you have done for us!

I can't thank the team at Slater and Gordon Asbestos and Dust Disease enough with the way they handled my claim. Raelene and her team were always honest, professional and understanding. They assisted me through what has been a difficult time for myself and my family. A special thank you to Raelene, Ashley and Brieanna who kept me informed throughout the claim process. Thank you again to all involved at Slater and Gordon.
