About

Provided by Wotton + Kearney

Wotton + Kearney is a market-recognised leader in insurance law and dispute resolution in Australia with 53 partners and over 280 lawyers in total across offices in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.

Our leadership is evidenced by the calibre of our clients, the nature of our instructions and our market accolades, including being named as a Band 1 firm in Australia by Chambers for 11 consecutive years.

We are the ‘go to’ firm in Australia for the majority of global and London market insurers, as well as local brokers and corporate insureds. We are on the legal panels for most of the major local and Lloyd’s market participants doing business in Australia.

W+K is highly regarded in Australia for general liability, financial lines (including class actions, D&O and professional indemnity) and complex property, construction and energy claims. We also have specialist practices in cyber/privacy, health, employment and workplace, product liability, marine and transport, and subrogated recoveries.

To celebrate our 20th anniversary this year W+K launched its 20 Actions for 20 Years Project, which promises to create a lasting legacy in the areas that its people think are most important today – reduced inequality, climate action, mental health and wellness, and social justice.

We also provide global services for insurers and their global clients through our Legalign Global alliance of five of the world’s leading insurance law firms.
