Julia Byrnes

Julia specialises in personal injury, public liability, and compulsory third party (CTP) insurance claims with particular experience in catastrophic claims, including spinal injuries, paraplegia, and brain injury claims, as well as compensation-to-relatives claims.

Throughout her career, Julia has managed both complex and mainstream claims. She regularly advises on multiple-defendant matters, bad-faith claims, fraudulent claims, and claims involving catastrophic injuries to minors requiring long-term strategies.

Before becoming a lawyer, Julia worked as a claims assessor for a major insurer. With more than ten years’ experience in insurance litigation, both in-house and in private practice, this background gives her a valuable understanding of both sides of the equation.

‘I’ve always found working in the personal injury area fascinating because of the wide variety of cases and the fact that, in every matter, there is always something interesting to get stuck into.’

Known for her commercial and practical approach, Julie is committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for her clients. She takes satisfaction in resolving disputes efficiently and delivering results that align with her clients' objectives.
