In his early legal career, Anthony undertook much work in the areas of criminal law and personal injuries arising from motor vehicle collisions.
In later years, he has developed his practice in medical litigation. This involves work in the context of coronial inquests, medical negligence actions and disciplinary work for health professionals.
Over the years, Anthony’s practice has developed to include a variety of other trial and appellate work in the practice areas noted above, particularly those related to assessing damages for personal injuries.
Anthony has an ongoing interest in legal education, especially advocacy training. He has participated in advocacy programmes conducted by the Australian Advocacy Institute and the Law Society of SA. He is an experienced advocacy coach in the ETAC run by the Australian Bar Association (‘ABA’) for Bar Readers. He was the Course Co-ordinator for the Adelaide based courses in 2014 and 2016.
