W+K's 10th Anniversary - A message from the managing partner

Welcome to the Wotton + Kearney website.

I am delighted to announce that on 4 February 2012 Wotton + Kearney celebrated its 10th anniversary!

Having started in Sydney in 2002 with a team of just six, the firm now employs more than 70 specialist insurance lawyers, including 18 in our Melbourne office which opened in 2007. This growth was highlighted in 2011 when Wotton + Kearney was named Australia's fastest growing law firm in The Australian's annual Partnership Survey; a fantastic way to round out our first ten years in business.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients for their continued support throughout the past decade, and the staff for their efforts in making Wotton + Kearney what it is today. I look forward to working with you all over the next ten years and beyond!

In the meantime, please take the opportunity to browse the firm's website, which provides information about our people, our expertise and some of the recent developments in insurance law.

All of our lawyers are passionate about insurance law and committed to the provision of timely and cost-effective legal services to participants in the industry.  As you peruse the profiles of our senior lawyers I am confident that you will gain a strong sense of the breadth of expertise within the firm across the various areas of insurance law in which we practise.

For those seeking some level of technical up-skilling, I refer you to our recent publications as well as to our Insurance Year in Review annual publications, which thoroughly record important legal developments in insurance law across a particular calendar year.
 
I welcome any feedback about our website.  I also welcome any query relating to the provision of insurance related legal services.
