Background

Clients trust Luke’s calm, clear and strategic advice as he assists them navigate the often complex and stressful world of civil litigation.

While the commercial interests of Luke’s clients are always at the forefront of his mind, he realises there are times when matters need to be litigated through the Courts.  Luke is an experienced civil litigator who has acted in a diverse range of insurance-based litigation in many different jurisdictions including the High Court of Australia.

Experience

Luke prides himself on his astute risk assessment and dispute resolution skills and has negotiated many excellent outcomes for his clients.

However, excellent outcomes have also been achieved through litigation perhaps most notably in the successful High Court Appeal of King v Philcox [2015] HCA 19. This decision had a significant impact on insurer’s potential liability for pure mental harm claims in South Australia.
