Joshua Clatworthy leads the Workers' Compensation and Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD) practice group at AC Lawyers, bringing over ten years of legal experience acquired at both mid-tier and top-tier international law firms and Barristers’ Chambers in Australia and Canada. His extensive background encompasses acting for both insurer and injured workers within personal injury law, with a notable focus on supporting emergency services workers. Joshua is deeply motivated by a commitment to assist clients navigating some of the most traumatic and challenging periods of their lives. He prioritises a thorough understanding of each client’s circumstances and legal issues, fostering strong and respectful relationships to achieve optimal outcomes. His approach is tailored to the specific needs of each matter, guiding clients towards the most suitable pathways for resolution, whether through Mediation, Conciliation, Arbitration, or where necessary, litigation. In managing claims, Joshua adopts a robust and direct style aimed at delivering timely and efficient resolutions. Beyond his professional responsibilities, he balances his time caring for his three dachshunds, whose selective eating habits often prove more demanding than legal complexities. His areas of experience include workers compensation within New South Wales, catastrophic claims, work injury damages and common law claims, as well as total and permanent disablement and income protection matters.
