Leading litigator and professional indemnity (PI) lawyer Cameron Solley has joined Meridian Lawyers' (Meridian) principal group and national insurance team.
Solley has more than 20 years of legal experience in professional risk, public and product liability, and personal injury across domestic and international markets. He has considerable experience responding to PI and personal injury claims against companies, associations, individuals, and government agencies where the allegations might include breaching professional duties of care and occupiers' liability.
Solley joined Meridian's Brisbane office from Thynne & McCartney, where he was a partner in the PI group team. A skilled negotiator, his practice includes representing traditional professions such as architects, engineers, lawyers, financial advisers, and healthcare professionals, as well as “newer” professions such as migration agents, technology professionals, and alternative therapists.
Meridian provides focused legal advice in health and insurance law, corporate and commercial law, workplace relations and safety, and commercial litigation and dispute resolution.
Commenting on his decision to join Meridian, Solley said: “It's an exciting time to be joining Meridian. I have long admired the high regard in which Meridian is held for its excellence in client service. I am looking forward to being a part of a national insurance team, working alongside the team in Brisbane, and having the opportunity to enhance the service offering to my clients.”
Meridian managing director Paul Baker has welcomed Solley to the team, emphasising that the leading PI lawyer's deep experience and skillset in PI insurance expand the current capabilities of the firm's Brisbane team.
“With his background in brokers' negligence and other professional indemnity claims, in addition to his health-related experience in the disciplinary area, Cameron's skills complement those of the team in Brisbane and bolster the service offering to our clients on a national basis,” Baker said.
Meridian Brisbane managing principal Dennis Cronin added: “I am delighted to welcome Cameron to the Brisbane team and our insurance practice. Cameron is an astute and technically proficient lawyer who is a great fit for our business. Cameron's experience and his insights will be of great value to our team, our client base, and the business more broadly.”
The leading PI lawyer's entrance to Meridian follows the law firm's internal promotion spree in June.
