Amber completed the Legal Profession Admission Board’s law course in 2019 and was admitted as a solicitor in June 2021. She has worked in law firms in Sydney since 2015 and prior to that in Newcastle since 2013.

Since commencing at FM Legal in April 2021, she has been working on an expedited employment law contract matter in the Supreme Court, which dealt with issues surrounding restraint of trade clauses.  Our client successfully achieved a settlement in their favour at mediation which upheld an injunction and provided them with damages as a result of a breach of contract.

Her experience has been in insurance law, predominately in property damage, debt collection and personal injury.  She has worked with large-scale insurers on subrogated matters (plaintiff and defendant), which have been both litigated and un-litigated.  

She has worked on litigated matters in the Local, District and Supreme Courts in NSW as well as courts in Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.

During 2019 and 2020, she went on secondment at one of Australia’s largest insurance companies working as a claims consultant with a focus on resolving disputes prior to litigation.
