Insurance

Position

Gemma is an experienced insurance lawyer, beginning her legal career as a construction/insurance lawyer in London then later re-qualifying to practice in Australia.

Gemma specialises in financial lines, construction and environmental claims. She advises domestic and international primary and excess layer insurers on policy coverage, defends complex litigation and proactively manages a range of recovery actions.

Gemma has undertaken two insurer secondments within the financial lines team of a major international insurer. During both secondments Gemma managed a variety of claims including multi-million-dollar financial institution class actions, significant fidelity losses, and a range of management liability claims.

Gemma’s strengths are her variety and depth of experience, her ability to provide timely, technical and succinct advice, her understanding of the insurance industry and particularly the needs of claims advisors, and her natural affinity with people.
