DWF announces key changes to leadership team in Australia

02 May 2025

DWF's Australian business has experienced rapid growth over the past 12 months, more than doubling its headcount following the acquisition of leading claims management firm Proclaim and the addition of a 62-strong team from Hall & Wilcox earlier this year, led by Matt Curll and Rachael Arnold.

 

Matt Curll will now take on the role of Country Managing Director, continuing to drive its strategic vision and operational excellence across the region. To support Matt, DWF is also introducing Principals-In-Charge for each of our Australian offices. 

They are:

Hamish Broadbent – Brisbane and Gold Coast

 - Zoe Keith – Melbourne

- Clare Campbell – Newcastle

Ahranee Viyaseelan – Sydney

In addition, working alongside Matt in leading the firm's significantly expanded General Insurance practice, is Rachael Arnold and Matt Dudakov. Jon Broome continues to lead Proclaim.

Matthew Doughty, CEO of Insurance Services, said: "This new structure strengthens our leadership and reinforces our commitment to local excellence. Each of these leaders brings deep knowledge and dedication to their teams, clients and communities – and I’m excited about what we’ll achieve together."

Matt Curll added: "I'm honoured to step into this role and look forward to working closely with our outstanding leadership team. Together, we’ll continue to build a connected, collaborative and forward-looking business that reflects the best of who we are and what we do."
