During her 30 years in practice, she has developed a diverse range of skills and significant experience in insurance claims and policy advisings (financial and retail lines), product liability issues and claims, class actions and corporate risk and litigation.
Insurance is a feature of Pamela's practice. She is one of the firm's most experienced insurance lawyers having worked with the insurance industry throughout her whole career. She is consistently recognised as one of Australia's leading insurance lawyers by national and international legal guides as well as the insurance industry.

She was awarded the prestigious 2005 AILA Law Prize, recognising her significant contribution to the insurance industry and insurance law. She is a President of the NSW Branch Executive Committee of ANZIIF, Chair of the Institute's President's Council and a Director of ANZIIF.
