Egan, a barrister at Sir James Martin Chambers, specialised in alternative dispute resolution with a focus on industrial law, OH&S, professional negligence and dust diseases.

He was admitted to the bar in 1982 and lived in Newtown in Sydney

The Australian reports that Egan's death comes following a number of drownings in the surf over the January holiday period - including the death of Steve Pauner on the NSW south coast over the weekend - prompting a campaign for improved safety warnings regarding surf conditions.
