With over 20 years’ experience, Toby focusses on disputes in the healthcare, life sciences and consumer goods sectors, in addition to advising on product liability, professional liability and general liability risks in other industries.
Toby acts for healthcare and consumer product manufacturers, corporate and individual healthcare providers, and insurers in both defence and coverage matters.

“I feel privileged to represent many clients in the healthcare, life sciences and consumer goods industries and their insurers. Products and healthcare treatment touch the lives of all people. When product and clinical issues and disputes occur, I enjoy working closely with our clients to find efficient, practical, pragmatic, and commercial solutions and outcomes.”
