Senior lawyer adds further expertise to MEJ’s strong team

The MEJ team is delighted to announce the appointment of another skilled senior lawyer. Thomas Wallace-Pannell joins us as Special Counsel, bringing a deep expertise in institutional abuse, workers compensation and public liability claims.

The latest in a series of strategic recruitments, our skilled lawyers will continue to provide the best service and representation for our clients and community.

Known for his compassion and ability to empower his clients, Thomas says he is driven to help people find the strength and courage they need to seek justice – on their terms.

“I feel privileged to join one of Canberra’s best known and most established firms,” Thomas said.

“It’s true that so many people who seek compensation deserve better, and I am glad to be joining MEJ to help protect the rights of more Canberrans.”

Thomas graduated from the University of Tasmania before moving to the Northern Territory to work as a Judge’s Associate and subsequently as a Prosecutor with the Northern Territory Director of Public Prosecutions. Thomas then relocated to Canberra finding his niche in plaintiff personal injury litigation.
