National specialist insurance law firm Gilchrist Connell has welcomed a new liability team to its ranks.

The new team, led by principals Nicole Norris and Jonathan Cutler, joins the firm’s Melbourne office this week, bringing high-level experience across disputes, personal injury, recoveries, and indemnity to further expand the firm’s national liability capability.

Norris has more than 20 years’ experience in insurance litigation and is a specialist in the defence of personal injury claims, while Cutler has a wealth of experience in the areas of personal injury, public liability, occupier’s liability, and common-law torts.

Completing the team are associate Jessica Rosla and lawyer Carla Downes, plus senior associate Sarah Tehan, who will be joining the firm in the New Year.

“It’s a genuine coup to be able to bring Nicole, Jono, and their people on board – they are a highly regarded, tight-knit team, and can’t start too soon given the volume and demand in this space both locally in Victoria and nationally,” said Richard Wood, managing principal. “They are a ‘unicorn’ from our perspective – they fit with our culture and already act for several of our largest national clients. The depth of their experience, their expertise, and their approach all combine to be a perfect complement for us and to continue the growth of GC’s casualty and property practice.”
