Daryl has extensive experience in all aspects of insurance and enjoys a busy and varied practice defending multifaceted allegations of negligence. He regularly advises on complex liability, quantum and strategic issues. Daryl’s Australian practice builds upon his experience overseas in crime, civil litigation, and the regulation of healthcare professionals.

Daryl regularly provides advice in relation to catastrophic claims for damages in negligence for death and bodily injury, litigation, risk management, and legislative compliance. Daryl also defends on statutory insurance claims, which encompasses both workers compensation and compulsory third party insurance.

Daryl acts on behalf of several State Government Entities, public utilities and professional indemnity insurers defending negligence claims against insureds across a wide range of arenas and professions. He has also acted in connection with investigations instigated by regulatory and disciplinary bodies as well as Public Inquiries.

'I like to help clients resolve disputes expeditiously by taking the path of least resistance, while still robustly defending their position and protecting their interests.

Non-lawyers often mistake Insurance law for being uninteresting and somewhat dull. I have always found the opposite to be true, what interests me most about this area of law is the human factors at play.

To be confronted with a complicated factual-matrix and distil that into coherent, cogent and commercial advice for a client is incredibly rewarding.'

Daryl is skilled at employing strategies to reduce claim costs and always strives to achieve a strategic settlement at the earliest opportunity. He values building strong relationships with key stakeholders, taking the time to understand his client’s needs, and tailors his approach to deliver the best possible results.
