Tom Cobban

Tom is a Director of Berrill & Watson Lawyers and has worked his whole career in superannuation and insurance claims. He only works for the individual or the insured person and never represents the insurance companies.

He is considered an expert in this field, working primarily on:

• TPD claims;
• Income protection;
• Trauma claims;
• Terminal illness; and 
• General insurance claims.

Tom has more than 15 years’ experience as a solicitor working exclusively in superannuation and insurance claims.

He regularly travels around Australia providing advice and assistance to people in rural and regional locations across the country. He also regularly visits clients in Victoria, South Australia and NSW.

Tom has acted for people in many cases in both the Victorian and NSW Courts and in the Federal Courts and has also advocated for people at the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. He has acted in cases against all of the big insurance companies in Australia.

Tom delivers many seminars and public talks and provides pro-bono support and advice for:

• MS Societies in Victoria, SA and Tasmania;
• Disability rights organisations;
• Financial counsellors from many organisations, including the state and national peak bodies;
• CF Together (Cystic Fibrosis); and
• Hospitals around the country, including the Royal Melbourne, Sunshine and Wodonga Hospitals.

Tom is keen to ensure that expert legal assistance with superannuation and insurance claims for people in remote and regional areas is a priority. Whilst primarily working out of our Melbourne office, spending a lot of time in regional Victoria and all areas of South Australia and in Perth is also a priority for him.
