Amber returned to Canberra and joined the team at Snedden Hall & Gallop in 2018.  She has over twelve years of experience in dispute resolution and litigation, and has also practiced overseas and interstate.

Amber understands that being injured affects not only her client’s body and mind, but also their employment, family and lifestyle.  Amber is a strong advocate who enjoys working with her clients to achieve successful settlement outcomes, and making a genuine difference in their lives.

Amber’s experience includes advising in relation to workers’ compensation, public liability, motor vehicle and cycling accidents, aviation, Comcare and military compensation claims.

Amber has represented clients with catastrophic injuries, complex brain and psychological injuries, and has also represented parties in relation to fatalities.

Given the breadth of her experience, Amber is able to analyse matters critically, and has frequently successfully represented clients whose claims have been considered ‘too hard’ or have been knocked back by other firms.   Amber explains difficult legal concepts to her clients in simple terms, whilst advancing matters in a focused and efficient matter.

Amber is a Board Director of Athletics ACT, a member of the ACT Compulsory Third Party Reform Advisory Committee, the ACT Law Society, and the Australian Lawyers Alliance.  Amber also provides assistance to several charities and community groups, including those involved in supporting military personnel and veterans, and people with a disability.
