Tricia Wong, Shelby and the rest of the team work very efficiently, they are very thorough and professional. They are able to get results, yet show compassion and empathy within a very black and white environment. I really appreciate their efforts.
I am a Senior Practice Leader in Slater and Gordon’s Asbestos and Dust Diseases team in Western Australia. I was admitted to practice in 2001 and have specialised in asbestos and dust disease law for over two decades. I have represented hundreds of people diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, silicosis and other dust related conditions, including stonemasons working with engineered stone and other workers exposed to silica dust.
My practice focuses on complex asbestos and dust disease litigation, including multi defendant and cross jurisdictional matters. My work covers both common law damages claims and statutory entitlements, and I work closely with medical and liability experts to build strong, evidence based cases. I regularly assist Western Australian clients whose claims involve exposure or defendants in other states, and I have experience supporting clients with claims in the United Kingdom.
I understand that contacting a lawyer can feel daunting, especially when someone is dealing with a serious or life limiting illness. My approach is to listen carefully, explain options in clear and practical terms, and progress claims as efficiently as possible while keeping clients informed at every stage. I am committed to making the process as straightforward and low stress as it can be for clients and their families, while pursuing the best possible outcome on their behalf.
