As a Canberra local who’s been working in litigation since 1999, Kirsten Leitch understands that behind every personal injury claim is a real person facing real challenges. That’s why she’s dedicated her career to making the compensation process less overwhelming and more successful for her clients.
What makes Kirsten different? She spent 15 years working for governments and insurance companies in personal injury and professional indemnity law before joining MEJ in 2013. This unique background means she knows exactly how the other side thinks – and can be the best lawyer for you.
“I’ve seen both sides of personal injury law, and that experience helps me get better results for my clients,” Kirsten explains. “I know what arguments will work, what evidence matters most, and how to navigate the system efficiently.”
When she’s not advocating for clients, you’ll find Kirsten volunteering at her local netball club or helping out at her children’s schools. She’s a true community member and passionate Canberran who brings a caring approach to every case.
Kirsten’s weekends are spent cheering on the sidelines of school sport, or enjoying quality time with family and friends. Her down-to-earth personality, combined with her comprehensive understanding of personal injury law, makes her the advocate you want in your corner.
