SUMMARY
As partner at Carroll & OÂ’Dea, Robert Higgins is committed to representing clients in Australia. He dedicates his practice to handling cases that involve the following matters: alternative dispute resolution law, equipment finance and leasing law, car accident law, consumer law, establish business law, leases and leasing law, insurance law, legal malpractice law, legal ethics and professional responsibility law, negligence law, litigation, product liability law, personal injury law, property law, professional liability law, torts law, train accidents law and traumatic brain injury law.
With nearly four decades of experience, Mr. Higgins has been successfully representing clients through matters involving dispute resolution and litigation. No matter if he is battling for compensation after a car accident or negotiating a lease between parties, Mr. Higgins takes a hands-on approach to every case he handles. He devotes his time and attention to clients, ensuring that they understand how their case is progressing through every phase.
For several decades, Mr. Higgins has acted on behalf of the Transport Accident Commission of Victoria when cases fall into the New South Wales jurisdiction. He also works with clients through matters in which interstate laws conflict with each other. In fact, several of his cases have resulted in precedent-setting rulings in the area of conflict of laws.
When it comes to tenant and landlord law, Mr. Higgins has worked through a number of large lease transactions for entities such as Elcom, General Property Trust and the Government Insurance Office.
Mr. Higgins is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
