Laura Silburn

Laura specialises in professional indemnity and health matters. Her practice encompasses both defence and coverage work, and she has experience defending complex, high-value professional indemnity and financial lines claims across Australia and the United Kingdom.

Laura acts for insurers, major contractors, and a broad range of professionals, including architects, engineers, project managers, surveyors, accountants, brokers, and medical and health practitioners in professional negligence claims, insurance litigation, and commercial disputes. She offers her clients a well-rounded perspective, having worked both as an insurance disputes lawyer and as a Senior Claims Officer at one of Australia's largest insurers.

'I enjoy advising on professional indemnity matters because every claim presents a unique mix of legal, technical, and commercial issues. I find it rewarding to work closely with insurers and insured professionals to understand those issues and develop practical strategies to resolve them.'

Laura adopts a commercial and pragmatic approach to claims management. While partnering with clients to navigate complex matters and achieve effective outcomes, she also draws on her experience as both an insurance lawyer and claims officer to provide advice that reflects the practical realities of managing a claim.
