PRACTICE HISTORY

We are a South Australian firm, and incorporated practice, which commenced in 1999 as a result of a partnership between William Duddy and Christopher Shopov with 2 partners and 2 staff specializing in workers compensation matters and liability work.

Since 1999 we have grown to 11 staff, comprising of 2 partners, 3 solicitors, 5 legal administration staff and 1 finance person, as a result of our strategy to target and provide workers compensation services for workers compensation claims agents and self insured employers.

The successful growth of the firm has been built on the basis of providing high levels of customer service and attention to detail in managing claims for our clients.

We pride ourselves on our South Australian focus. We act for South Australian manufacturers, Government, service providers and organizations that are regarded as agencies or instrumentalities of the State. We act for insurers in the liability area based in South Australia and have specific expertise in employment law and the interpretation and application of South Australian law. This complements our focus on the application and interpretation on the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1986.

Our philosophy is to proactively attempt to negotiate favourable outcomes for our clients. Our reputation has been built on this philosophy, enabling us to provide high quality legal advice and services, and we include amongst our clients a number of highly recognised self insured employers.
