Insurance law covers what happens when a claim is disputed, denied or defended, from a denied property claim to a professional negligence action. We act for insurers, professionals and individuals, drawing on the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth), the General Insurance Code of Practice and the law of negligence. We advise from our offices in Newcastle, for clients across the Hunter and NSW.
We are trusted with serious insurance work, including acting for a major insurer, and we are members of the Australian Insurance Law Association. Whichever side you are on, we give clear, practical advice aimed at the best outcome efficiently.
Why clients choose Mullane Lindsay
Our insurance work draws on our litigation team, led by Director Kristy Nunn and Special Counsel David Collins. We are trusted with serious commercial insurance work, including as the only firm a major insurer instructs in NSW outside Sydney. Backed by the firm since 1976, we bring genuine insurance expertise to both sides of a claim.
Acting for insurers, professionals and individuals
Insurance disputes look different depending on where you sit. For insurers, we defend and manage claims effectively. For professionals, we respond to negligence allegations and work with insurers. For individuals and businesses, we challenge denied or reduced claims through internal review, AFCA and, where needed, the courts. We tell you honestly where you stand and the most cost-effective way forward. We also advise on liability claims and policy interpretation, and we act for both policyholders and insurers.
