Managing director of Stack/Goudkamp and current APLA president-elect, Goudkamp brings with him 25 years’ experience in personal injury law. He is a member of the NSW Law Society’s Personal Injury Law Committee and a member of the Specialist Accreditation Board, chair of the NSW Law Society’s Personal Injuries Advisory Committee, and a Claims Assessment Resolution Service assessor.
