Kimberley Bavin

Kim graduated from her Bachelor of Laws from the Notre Dame University Australia in 2006. Whilst at university, Kim worked as a law clerk

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, the litigation she really loved, medical negligence claims. 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 experience, including as instructing solicitor in matters which 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, the firm’s founder and she developed a great working relationship with him. Following a (very short) hiatus to the “dark side”, acting for insurers, Kim received the call from Julian that changed her life. Kim has been at JJL since 2020, and at the beginning of 2025 became a director of the firm alongside Anna Sundararajan.

Outside 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.

Tanya came late to law, graduating with a Bachelor of Laws (first class honours) from Murdoch University in 2007. Tanya completed her articles with Julian and was admitted to practice in February 2009.

Her expertise in medical law is recognised by her inclusion in Doyle’s Guide, as a recommended medical negligence lawyer.

She has experience in general, paediatric, neonatal, obstetric and mental health nursing, and particularly specialised in women’s health.

Tanya is married with 3 children and says that age is irrelevant for the purposes of this bio! Outside of the workplace she hones her language skills with word puzzles, has a penchant for entering competitions and enjoys long walks along the coast. She also enjoys golf, but never has the time to play anymore.

We understand that deciding to investigate a claim may be a very big first step to take. Most people are frightened of or at least apprehensive of the legal system, lawyers, or at the thought of ‘taking on’ a doctor, hospital or ‘the medical profession.’

To make it as easy as possible, just fill out the form and we will contact you to let you know whether we think investigating a claim is something you should think about. There’s no obligation and no fee involved..

If you’d prefer, we can even just send you an email answering your question (if it is simple enough!) or pointing you in the right direction.

If we think a claim is worth investigating, we’ll arrange to meet for a coffee and a chat.

If you want, go ahead and let us help you with the first step.
