As Special Counsel at GMP Law, Bill brings over 20 years of experience in personal injury law, specialising in medical negligence claims. He holds a Bachelor of Laws from James Cook University and has been admitted to the High Court of Australia, Supreme Court of Queensland, and Supreme Court of England and Wales.
Bill’s extensive legal career includes past tenures at other respected law firms gaining invaluable experience in medical negligence and other personal injury matters. He was drawn to join GMP Law due to the firm’s long-standing reputation for achieving justice for clients and its commitment to providing outstanding legal representation.
Throughout his distinguished career, Bill has handled numerous high-profile and complex cases. One of the most rewarding was representing the plaintiff in Queensland’s highest reported judgment for damages in a medical negligence claim. The case resulted in a life-changing outcome for his client, who had suffered profound disabilities due to medical treatment. The damages awarded provided his client with the necessary funds and support to live the best possible life, offering reassurance for their future. This case holds special meaning for Bill, as it not only secured a substantial financial award but also restored his client’s dignity and sense of security.
Bill’s career highlights also include achieving successful outcomes for clients who have suffered catastrophic brain and spinal injuries due to medical negligence. He has also represented victims of birthing injuries, spinal cord injuries, surgical errors, and delayed diagnoses. These cases are close to Bill’s heart, as they offer opportunities to make a significant difference in the lives of individuals and families who have endured serious harm due to medical malpractice. He views personal injury law as a means to secure justice for those with no other recourse, helping them obtain the compensation and support necessary to move forward.
Bill is deeply committed to simplifying the legal process for his clients, offering practical legal advice to ensure the best possible outcomes. His client-focused approach reduces the stress and complexity of legal proceedings, empowering clients to make informed decisions with confidence.
At GMP Law, Bill continues to embody the firm’s dedication to fighting for justice and securing the highest possible compensation for his clients.
In the spirit of reconciliation GMP Law acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
