Partner Stefan Sudweeks commenced his new role last week after joining from Jackson McDonald in Perth, where he was instrumental in establishing the Sydney office.

Mr Sudweeks is internationally recognised for his expertise in professional indemnity and D&O liability insurance and works in all areas of insurance, including liability and errors and omissions. A commercial litigator with over 25 years of experience, he acts for a wide range of professions, including solicitors, barristers, financial advisers, engineers, estate agents, surveyors, valuers and accountants. 

Commenting on this hire, Mills Oakley chief executive John Nerurker said that Stefan brought deep market connections to the firm.

“We were particularly impressed by Stefan’s success in relocating to Sydney,” he said.

“In our experience, such a relocation rarely succeeds without complete and unequivocal support from clients and our due diligence has certainly confirmed the consummate respect which Stefan enjoys in both Sydney and Perth.”

Mr Sudweeks has held positions on industry groups like the Australian Insurance Law Association (AILA) and the committee advising the solicitor general on the harmonisation of proportionate liability legislation. He has also published a number of papers on topical insurance issues. 

Mr Sudweeks said the move to Mills Oakley would be an opportunity to grow his career further.

“Offering a deep national footprint and a reputation in the insurance sector for excellence, Mills Oakley provides an ideal platform for me to grow and diversify my practice,” he said.  

“I appreciate the opportunity to work alongside Daren Curry and the very well-respected Mills Oakley national insurance team.”
