Experience
With a mixture of engineering, legal and loss adjusting qualifications, Declan’s background is complemented with experience handling a wide mixture of construction and engineering claims with a focus on liability and professional indemnity claims.
Declan has demonstrated experience on claims both large and small, with claims ranging from the everyday small construction project, through mid to large sized developments and up to large scale major infrastructure projects. The combination of engineering and legal experience allows Declan to quickly cut to the heart of the claim whilst considering outcomes from both technical and legal perspectives.
Prior to working in insurance, Declan was a Project Manager at Standards Australia where he was responsible for the drafting and publication of a suite of Australian Standards dealing with concrete, construction and plumbing works. This previous experience has allowed Declan to become an expert on the application and interpretation of Australian Standards in relation to construction and engineering claims.
