Mitchell Herlihy

Principal/Director | LL.B. B.A. GradDipLP

Mitchell is an experienced lawyer in all matters of personal injury law in Queensland. He is the Principal/Director at Lifestyle Injury Lawyers and was admitted to the Supreme Court of Queensland in December 2012.

Prior to joining Lifestyle Injury Law, Mitchell worked for a national legal practice and soon realised that bigger isn’t necessarily better. He knew he wanted to practice law differently, in particular to provide clients with one-on-one expert legal help from start to finish of their compensation matter. He also focuses on providing his clients with access to early rehabilitation with a view to helping them return to their pre-accident health.


Mitchell understands that early intervention reduces the likelihood of the accident-related injuries becoming long term, chronic injuries and his priority is always his client’s health. Mitchell has a wide network of physiotherapists that he works closely with that allows his clients to access their rehabilitation as soon as the claim is lodged and far earlier than would be expected at other law firms.


Mitchell’s clients find him laidback and easy going however, when it comes to pursuing their claims and dealing with insurer’s he is anything but. He has a strong reputation for achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients and always putting their best interests forward while making the process as stress free as possible for them.


On a personal note, he loves the Gold Coast and all it has to offer. He enjoys spending time with his young family and is a diehard Newcastle Knights supporter. 

Mitchell has worked on a diverse array of claims including:



  • claims for injuries arising from car accidents;
  • accidents in public places (e.g. hotels, supermarkets, boat ramps and many more);
  • defective products;
  • slip and falls;
  • death claims where people have lost a loved one through the fault of another;
  • superannuation & TPD claims.
