Mitchell Herlihy and a Lifestyle Injury Lawyers team member meeting with a client in the office

Our team

Meet the team

Most injured Queenslanders juggle two separate battles — getting better, and getting paid. We handle both, side by side, under one roof. Your lawyer and your treating team work from the same plan, so nothing falls through the gap between them.

What makes us different

Two kinds of expertise. One team.

Most injury firms hand you a lawyer and leave the medical side to someone else — or nobody. We’re Queensland’s only practice where both sit under one roof, on the same claim, talking to each other.

The legal side

A senior compensation lawyer who runs your claim end to end — the deadlines, the insurer, the evidence, the negotiation — so nothing slips and you always know where things stand.

The health side

A treating health professional who starts coordinating your recovery immediately, and documents it properly — which is exactly what a strong claim is built on.
