With a unique team, WK partners with forward thinking insurers and corporates to solve their greatest challenges.

From start-up to market leader in 20 years

Born from the vision of David Kearney and Phillip Wotton in 2002, our story began modestly in Sydney with two partners, four lawyers and boundless ambition.

Today, that pioneering spirit has propelled us to new heights. We’ve grown into a dynamic force of over 700 professionals, including 85+ partners, spanning 10 offices across Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.

Wotton Kearney is now the ‘go-to’ firm in the region for the majority of local, global and London market insurers, as well as brokers and corporates, particularly with the more complex issues facing the market. We are now highly regarded in the areas of complex property, energy and infrastructure claims, general liability (including product liability, property damage and public liability), and financial lines (including D&O, regulatory investigations and professional liability claims).

WK also has specialist teams in the areas of cyber, privacy and technology, government, healthcare, marine and transport, media and defamation, workplace and safety, as well as a dedicated commercial litigation and class actions offering.
