About David

David is a dual-qualified lawyer admitted in both Victoria and the United Kingdom, bringing more than two decades of experience in plaintiff personal injury law. As a Senior Associate, he advises and represents clients across a broad range of compensation matters, including Public Liability claims, Motor Vehicle Accident TAC claims, and WorkCover claims in Victoria. His practice focuses exclusively on acting for injured individuals seeking fair and just compensation. Before relocating to Melbourne in 2016, David spent many years representing injured clients in the UK, including individuals who had suffered catastrophic injuries and young people living with acquired brain injuries. That experience shaped his practical, thorough and client-focused approach to serious injury litigation. Today, he continues to assist Victorians who have been seriously injured in accidents — guiding them through the legal process, explaining their rights clearly, and pursuing the maximum compensation available under Victorian law. David is known for his clear communication, careful attention to detail and ability to support clients during what is often one of the most challenging periods of their lives. He is committed to delivering strong legal representation while ensuring every client feels informed, respected and supported throughout their claim.
