Alex Freeman

Alex advises and represents workers' compensation and general insurers and large corporate self-insurers in personal injury liability litigation, work injury claims and property damage claims. He heads McCabes WA's workers' compensation teams for multiple national insurers.

His team of junior and senior lawyers and law clerks deliver experienced legal knowledge and cost-effective service taking a focused and commercial approach.

Alex has worked exclusively in insurance litigation since 1990. Over that time, he has managed thousands of claims and achieved an exceptional track record of effective negotiation, early negotiated outcomes where appropriate, and robust litigation.

Alex carefully considers recovery prospects for each matter, providing commercial and practical advice in this regard.

Alex works with his insurer clients, respecting and valuing their industry and commercial experience. He has gained valuable insights into the mutual benefits which flow from such a complementary working relationship.

He is convinced that a team-based approach between lawyer and insurer client will achieve the most favourable results.
