B.Juris., Llb., Partner
Paul Mulvany is the founder of WORKFORCE
LEGAL in Victoria. He is an acknowledged expert in Compensation
Law in Australia and has practised in the workers compensation and
WorkCover jurisdictions in Victoria for in excess of 25 years. He has
conducted landmark cases on compensation at all levels and is a widely
acknowledged expert on the use and abuse of the American Medical
Association's "Guidelines for the Evaluation of Impairment", which
underpins most Australian compensation schemes. His research and
criticism of these guides has resulted in the removal of some of their
unfairness.
Between 1993 and 2003 he was the National Practice Manager of the
Compensation Practices of Slater and Gordon and was formerly a Judge
of the Accident Compensation Tribunal of Victoria. He received the Civil
Justice Award from the Australian Plaintiff Lawyers Association and an
award from the Law Institute of Victoria for his work in campaigning for
major changes that secured greater benefits for injured workers. He was
for many years the principal legal adviser on WorkCover to the Victorian
Trades Hall Council and continues to play an active role in assisting and
advising council representatives in seeking improved benefits for injured
workers. He has been actively involved in the development of improved
guidelines for the assessment of impairment from industrial diseases
and occupational asthma.
Paul Mulvany founded WORKFORCE LEGAL because of his passionate
belief in the need for high quality, affordable legal assistance to workers
whose lives have been devastated by injury. He is a consultant and special counsel to the firm.
