About Us

Kim graduated from her Bachelor of Laws from the Notre Dame University Australia in 2006. Whilst at university, Kim worked as a law clerk at plaintiff law firm, Bradley Bayly Legal (BBL). She remained at BBL for close to 13 years where she was involved in a variety of litigation including work accident claims, fatal accidents, commercial litigation, motor vehicle accident claims and medical negligence claims. Soon, she found her niche and ran that firm’s medical negligence practice.

Many of Kim’s clients have had catastrophic injuries including spinal cord injuries and traumatic and acquired brain injuries. Kim has had a wide variety of litigation experience, including as instructing solicitor in matters which have proceeded to trial in the District and Supreme Courts, matters in the Court of Appeal, and special leave applications to the High Court of Australia.

It was whilst working at BBL that Kim met Julian Johnson, the firm’s founder and she developed a great working relationship with him. In 2020, following a (very short) hiatus to the “dark side” acting for insurers, Kim received a call from Julian, and she has been at JJL since. At the beginning of 2025, Kim became a director of the firm alongside Anna Sundararajan.

Outside of work, Kim loves to spend time with her family, walk her dog and hit the local coffee strip for a few too many oat lattes.

Anna graduated with a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Western Australia in 2014 and joined Julian Johnson Lawyers in 2017. In early 2025, she became a Director at the firm alongside Kimberley Bavin. 

She represents clients in complex and sensitive medical negligence claims, including cases involving surgical errors, delayed diagnoses, birth injuries, and hospital negligence. Known for her strategic thinking, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to her clients, Anna has achieved successful outcomes in a wide range of challenging matters. She works closely with clients and families during some of the most challenging periods in their lives, offering clear guidance and compassionate support throughout the legal process. 

Before studying law, Anna was a registered nurse, working in Germany, Australia, and Africa across both public and private healthcare sectors. She has hands-on clinical experience in general, high-dependency, and emergency nursing. Anna also holds a degree in Psychology. This unique combination of legal training, medical knowledge, and psychological insight allows her to approach complex cases from multiple angles and to advocate for her clients with both precision and empathy.

Anna is a native German speaker. In her free time, she likes to spend time with her family, travel the world and run long distances.
