“It’s true that so many people who seek compensation deserve better, and I am glad to be joining MEJ to help protect the rights of more Canberrans,” says special counsel THOMAS WALLACE-PANNELL.

Canberra law firm Maliganis Edwards Johnson (MEJ) has appointed senior lawyer Thomas Wallace-Pannell as special counsel.

“Thomas Wallace-Pannell brings a deep expertise in institutional abuse, worker’s compensation and public liability claims,” says managing partner Kate Waterford.

“Known for his compassion and ability to empower his clients, he is the latest in a series of strategic recruitments as our skilled lawyers continue to provide the best service and representation for our clients and the community.”

Thomas says he is driven to help people find the strength and courage they need to seek justice – on their terms.

“I feel privileged to join one of Canberra’s best known and most established firms,” Thomas says.

“It’s true that so many people who seek compensation deserve better, and I am glad to be joining MEJ to help protect the rights of more Canberrans.”

Thomas graduated from the University of Tasmania before moving to the NT to work as a judge’s associate and subsequently as a prosecutor with the Northern Territory Director of Public Prosecutions. 

He relocated to Canberra, finding his niche in plaintiff personal injury litigation.

Outside of work, Thomas says he is involved in his local community through school community events and is the president of the Weston Creek Little Athletics Centre.
