Lidia Monteverdi

Lidia joined Burgan Lawyers in February 2024.  Before joining Burgan Lawyers, she worked for a national firm to successfully establish and develop a medical negligence practice in Newcastle, the Hunter region and Northern-NSW.

As a testament to her expertise in personal injury and medical negligence, Lidia became an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law in November 2024.

Her experience coupled with her knowledge of the law and medicine means that Lidia is able to explain the often-complex aspects of the claims process in a clear and simple way.  She enjoys seeing clients’ claims reach successful conclusion, but most of all, she values the connections she is able to build with clients whilst assisting them through often life-changing experiences.  She has an open and honest manner which she views as essential to putting clients at ease that their claim is in good hands.

Lidia has been involved with the Australian Lawyers Alliance first on their NSW committee, and more recently as a member of the Medical Law Specialist Interest Group, since 2018.  Through her work in this space, she has been involved in law reform and policy issues including in relation to the regulation of healthcare practitioners Australia-wide and changes to plastic and cosmetic surgery regulations.  She views this work as an important way of effecting change and ensuring safety for the public.

Lidia is a valued part of the Burgan Lawyers’ team.

When she is not working hard for her clients, Lidia loves being outside riding her mountain bike.
