“We are delighted that we are able to attract talent of this quality – particularly in the current competitive labour market faced by insurance sector firms,” managing principal Richard Wood said.

“We have no doubt that our clients will welcome the additional skills and experience that Brett, Helen, Tom, Tiarn and Cody provide in Brisbane and Sydney.” 

Litigation lawyer and insurance specialist Mr Solomon has extensive experience in the Brisbane market in which he has operated for nearly three decades. He acts for Australian and London-based insurers and insureds in a broad range of industries including financial services, construction, resources and energy, property, retail, manufacturing, medical and leisure industries.

Ms Tieu brings specialist coverage, financial institutions and D&O expertise to the Sydney team and her substantial insurance industry experience includes PI claims, class actions and several years working in-house and in private practice, both within Australia and overseas. 

Ms Pauletto has extensive insurance experience both within law firms and in-house in professional indemnity claims for a large insurer. She has worked across a multitude of jurisdictions for a diverse range of clients across Australia.

Mr Nguyen will boost the Brisbane team’s capability in casualty and professional indemnity. He has been involved in a number of high-profile financial services, environmental and product liability class actions in various state and federal jurisdictions. 

“2020 has had its moments as everyone knows, but our clients have been busier than ever as a result and so require increased support and assistance from us,” Mr Wood added.
