WHO WE HELP

The law is complex. 
We make it simple.

Whether you're an individual navigating an injury or workplace dispute, a business managing people risk, or an insurer seeking technically excellent defence, Barsby Law brings rare dual-sided experience and a genuinely human approach to every matter we take on.

We've represented employees and employers. Claimants and insurers.

We know how the other side thinks, and we use that to get you a better outcome.

Employees

Facing dismissal, redundancy, performance management, harassment or discrimination? We'll tell you where you stand — and back you completely if you have a case worth fighting.


Personal Injury

Injured at work, on the road, or unable to return to work? We do WorkCover, motor vehicle, TPD and public liability claims, and we'll tell you exactly where you stand.


Employers & Businesses

People issues escalate fast when they're not managed correctly. We give you practical, commercial advice that resolves the problem and protects your business without the drama.


Insurers & Super Funds

Claims managed with technical precision and a genuine understanding of the human on the other side. Firm, fair, and commercially grounded.


MEET WILL & MISTY

Built by lawyers who've been on both sides.

Will has 25 years in law and Misty brings brings deep experience in complex workers' compensation matters with a 4 week trial experience in her second year of practice, and a level of detail that changes outcomes. Together they built Barsby Law because they were done with the factory model, where files get passed around and clients become numbers.

When you work with Barsby Law, you work with them start to finish.

Most firms do one oR the other. 

We do both.

Employment disputes and personal injury claims often arise from the same situation, a workplace injury that leads to performance management, or a dismissal that triggers a psychiatric injury claim. Most law firms handle one issue and send you somewhere else for the other.



Barsby Law handles both.



That means one team, one strategy, and no falling through the gap between two different firms trying to manage your matter in isolation.

What our clients say.

Better starts here.


We pick up.

Every enquiry is called back the same day. You speak directly to Will or Misty, lawyers with the experience to actually help.

We've been on 
both sides.

25+ combined years in law, plus executive experience inside large commercial organisations. We understand how businesses make decisions, how insurers assess claims, and how to navigate both, because we've been in those rooms.

We tell you the truth.

If you don't have a case, we'll tell you that clearly and explain why. If you do, we'll back you completely. Either way, you leave the conversation knowing exactly where you stand.

We take the burden.

Once we're engaged, it's our problem. We manage the communications, gather the evidence, and deal with whoever needs to be dealt with on your side of the table, or theirs. You just focus on getting on with your life.

01 | Employment

A government employee faced serious misconduct allegations that had been investigated for over 12 months, putting her career and reputation at significant risk. Barsby Law methodically dismantled the complaint, exposing procedural failures and evidentiary gaps at every stage. All disciplinary action was dismissed. She returned to her role with full pay and no adverse findings.

02 | Employment / Mental Health

A senior executive within a national business suffered a psychiatric injury after sustained unfair treatment at work. His employer began pushing for an early return and an exit on their terms. Barsby Law intervened, protected his position, and negotiated an exit package that included redundancy and a substantial ex gratia payment, effectively securing around 12 months of future income.

03 | Personal Injury / TPD

A registered nurse with over 20 years of experience sustained serious injuries assisting a patient, along with a secondary psychiatric injury. Unable to return to work and under significant financial pressure, she came to Barsby Law unsure of her options. A detailed review of her superannuation identified two insurance policies she didn't know she had. We secured two lump sum payouts, each exceeding $450,000, providing long-term financial security through to retirement.
