Rob was admitted in March 1974 having obtained a BA and
LLB from the University of Sydney. He established his own practice
in 1979 which in 1997 became known as mccourts solicitors.
He prefers the common-sense, no nonsense approach to the law
and outside of the office wants to lower his golf handicap to single
figures. It is teetering at 11 (probably more realistically the
the high side of 11!)

Michael is our Insurance Law specialist having joined our team as Special Counsel
in mid 2009. His post admission experience spans more than a decade. Michael
has particular expertise working with his client insurers and their clients to provide
seamless legal and claims related services. He has a thorough understanding of
the priorities and needs of his clients and is recognised as having specific 
knowledge in areas of insurance litigation including CTP, public liability,
product liability and general insurance. After a short stint in the construction
industry, he has come onboard to help Rob and take on the challenge of working
with so many women!

Kathryn has completed two Master of Arts Degrees and in 2009 graduated with her Bachelor of Laws Degree.  She finished her Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice in 2010 and was admitted in Queensland in December.  Prior to her career change Kathryn spent almost twenty years in the Arts field as a practitioner, educator and manager.  With a thirst for knowledge she is soaking up the interesting and varied areas of law with mccourts and has a natural skill in dispute resolution and mediation.  Outside of the office she loves swimming, theatre, cooking and entertaining with her family including two teenage children.

Helen works three days a week as the Marketing Manager and the rest of
the time she spends taking care of her family which is particularly busy with
her three sports crazy sons.  Her background is in Human Resources and Child Care
and she feels well qualified to deal with the office management and client relationships. 
Helen is responsible for the upkeep of the website and newsletter content.
If you have any suggestions or comments please email her.

Lorna is Rob's longest service employee and right hand woman going by the
traditional name of Legal Assistant  She is also the trusty Office Accountant.
Her knowledge and dedication are major strengths and she is a qualified personal
trainer with fitness being one of her great loves (her others of course are hubby
and hyperactive English Cocker Spaniel Felix).

Laura is the newest member of our team and completes the office team
as our Receptionist.  She completed her National Diploma in Art & Design
in Essex and worked mainly in the retail industry in the UK.  In 2010 looking for a
country and career change she moved to Australia and secured a position with mccourts. 
Laura has quickly picked up the legal terminology and office responsibilities and is
looking forward to strolling to work, having moved to Pyrmont to enjoy the
cosmopolitan inner city suburb.
