Major insurance and risk law firm Wotton + Kearney (W + K) has welcomed Edward Smith to its health law practice in Melbourne as a partner.
Smith (pictured) is a health law specialist with over 10 years of experience representing public health services and health practitioners in various issues affecting the sector, including medical negligence proceedings, Coronial inquests, and regulatory matters. He is interested in cyber and privacy issues in the government health sector and has a broad pro bono practice in mental health and refugee advocacy.
Chris Spain, head of health at W + K, said that Smith's experience aligns with the firm's growing health practice.
“I'm thrilled to welcome Edward to our team,” Spain said. “He has a very strong reputation in the market.”
“It's a privilege to join a team of such respected health law practitioners,” Smith said. “Wotton + Kearney has built an impressive practice in this area, and it's exciting to be a part of that.”
The expansion of the health law practice in Melbourne follows W + K's 34 promotions in Australia and New Zealand.
