Leigh Davidson is one of the founding Principals of Advantage Legal, a law firm established in 2018 with a specific vision of creating a client-centric legal practice dedicated to achieving ideal client outcomes from a health, rehabilitation and compensation perspective.
Leigh is recognised as one of the most innovative lawyers in NSW personal injury law. He is the current Deputy Chair of the NSW Law Society Injury Compensation Committee and a leading contributor to NSW CTP scheme regulatory reviews and submissions put forward by the NSW Law Society Injury Compensation Committee.
His personal and professional focus is on helping seriously injured people in NSW statutory compensation schemes. Leigh manages cases and disputes in a proactive and highly decisive manner.
As an experienced litigator who has represented the interests of almost all stakeholders in the insurance claim process, he is determined to achieve the best outcome in any dispute.
Leigh is a relentless advocate of collaborative and alternative dispute resolution methods and is always willing to explore non-legal solutions to any given problem. His clients can always count on him to create a range of pragmatic and highly effective strategies that will resolve any complex dispute.
Leigh spent the early part of his career working in private practice before transitioning in-house to Insurance Australia Group (IAG) where he was responsible for managing and resolving complex and high-profile CTP motor accident personal injury claims and advising on personal injury statutory and regulatory reforms. Thereafter he co-founded Advantage Legal, was appointed as a Decision Maker with the NSW Dispute Resolution Service and has appeared before the NSW Parliament Legislative Council Standing Committee on Law and Justice to provide feedback on the operation of the NSW CTP scheme.
Leigh has over 15 years of experience working in NSW personal injury law, regularly speaks at professional forums, including the Law Society’s Accredited Specialist Conference, and is a strong advocate for bicycle safety and preparing the legal profession for emerging technologies such as autonomous vehicles.
