Linda Hanley

Linda Hanley serves as the Melbourne Practice Director at Redlich's Work Injury Lawyers and is recognised as an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law. She also leads the firm's Chinese practice. Inspired by personal experience with her mother's workplace injury, Linda is dedicated to supporting individuals through complex compensation systems. Her empathetic approach is evident in her work, where she assists clients in securing their legal entitlements and compensation. Fluent in English and Cantonese, and with a foundational understanding of Mandarin, Linda effectively bridges language gaps for her clients, particularly those facing obstacles like cost or language barriers in accessing legal services. Linda's career is marked by significant experience in personal injury litigation, achieving notable settlements for her clients. Her successes include securing two six-figure settlements for an injured Chinese worker in separate cases against the same employer, obtaining considerable compensation for a teacher with a unique jaw injury, and recovering nearly all arrears for a worker injured in 1991 after their payments were unjustly terminated. Linda's professional journey includes her current role as Practice Director at Redlich's Work Injury Lawyers since 2022, preceded by her tenure as a Senior Associate at Adviceline Injury Lawyers. Her academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts/Law from Deakin University, enhanced by her completion of an Accredited Specialisation Course in Personal Injuries at the Law Institute of Victoria in 2021. Away from her practice, Linda is devoted to her family, cherishing the moments spent and memories made with her children.
