Insuralex´s Exclusive Member in Australia, Meridian Lawyers is delighted to announce that medical defence litigation expert, Principal Paul Baram, will join the NSW Health Law team in August 2022.

Recognised for his expertise in defending health liability claims, Paul Baram was previously an insurance litigation partner with Norton Rose Fulbright. He is a long standing General Editor of the Lexis Nexis Insurance Law Bulletin.

Paul has practised as an insurance lawyer for more than 30 years. For the last 23 years he has built a specialised practice working closely with medical defence organisations in the defence of complex health liability claims, including catastrophic injury claims. His experience covers cases such as delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, adverse surgery outcomes, and complex birth cases.

“I am delighted to welcome Paul to Meridian. His expertise in the medical negligence space is exceptional. To secure a practitioner of Paul’s calibre is exciting. The experience and exemplary track record of achievements he brings to our business complements the expertise of our high performing national health law team.”

Commenting on his decision to join Meridian, Paul Baram says:

“Over many years I have held great respect for the health law team at Meridian. It has one of the most expansive health law practices in the country. The team’s deep knowledge of the medical and allied health sectors, combined with a deep understanding of risk management issues relevant to those sectors, provides me with a strong foundation to continue to build my practice. I am very much looking forward to being a part of the team.”
