Emily Priddle is an Associate at Redlich's Work Injury Lawyers specialising in WorkCover, TAC and Public Liability claims.
Emily completed a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Criminology at La Trobe University and her Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice through the College of Law.
Based in the Epping office, Emily prides herself on providing expert legal advice with compassion and care, and aims to ensure that her clients achieve the best possible outcome in their circumstances.
Her interest in personal injury originates from her desire and passion to act for clients who are less privileged in society to ensure they have equal access to justice. She believes every person deserves this opportunity and is guided by this mentality when navigating our clients through the WorkCover system. Her ambition to validate emotions and individual circumstances allows her to advocate for justice through focusing on worker’s rights and entitlements.
Outside of work, Emily loves spending time with her family and friends, playing netball and keeping fit.
