He understands that litigation is a last resort, but often a necessary one, and he is committed to achieving cost-effective outcomes for his clients.
Finian has also acted for a diverse client base in the employment field, where his clients range from small businesses to some of North Queensland’s largest employers.
He is familiar with the unique statutory schemes that govern employment disputes, and he is well-equipped to navigate them in a pragmatic and risk-sensitive manner.Before working at Miller Harris Lawyers, Finian worked as a solicitor in the field of defendant insurance litigation. In that field, he was involved in the pre-litigated and litigated defence of high-quantum insurance disputes, on behalf of leading state and national insurers.
