Meridian Lawyers announced it has further bolstered its national insurance team with several key appointments, including two from rival McCabes.
Principal Vid Dragomirovic, special counsel Laura D’Alessandri, senior associates Sarah Zevari and Homira Haideri, and additional lawyers and support staff have been added to the law firm’s Sydney and Melbourne offices, beginning April 17.
They join special counsels Isabel Cusumano and Phillip Thomas, senior associates Nicholas Robertson and Mia Ioannou, and associate Melissa Sayers, who joined the Meridian insurance team earlier this month.
“I am thrilled to be welcoming each new team member to Meridian,” said Paul Baker, Meridian managing director. “Their exceptional expertise and depth of experience complements our existing team and expands the national insurance offer we can provide to our client base.”
Dragomirovic, an NSW accredited specialist in personal injury law, has more than 16 years’ experience in managing motor vehicle accident claims. He was previously a special counsel at McCabes.
“I am excited to be a part of Meridian’s dedicated national insurance team, and for the opportunity to grow my practice,” said Dragomirovic. “Meridian’s team members have an unparalleled depth of expertise in insurance and health law and I look forward to working alongside the team to enhance the services I can provide to my clients.”
Also joining Meridian from McCabes is D’Alessandri, who has over 14 years’ experience in insurance litigation, with a focus on personal injury law.
Meridian Lawyers provides legal advice in insurance, corporate and commercial, workplace relations and safety, commercial litigation and dispute resolution and health.
It has grown significantly since its inception in 2004, with more than 150 staff including 24 principals in offices located in Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
