Stevens’ expertise spans a full spectrum of medical industry matters and has seen him appear in both the Victorian County Court and the Victorian Supreme Court in the past.

Commenting on the new appointment, managing partner Bill Karvela said the firm was “delighted” to welcome Stevens.

“Adam’s appointment marks a significant step in the expansion of our legal service offering,” Karvela said.
