Practices

Andrew has a strong knowledge of the breadth of issues involved in personal injury management across both statutory and common law claims. His understanding of the Victorian scheme, and particularly his appreciation of the demands upon self insurers navigating in that scheme, enables him to achieve consistently strong results that meet his client’s objectives.
