ABOUT KIM MORRISSEY, BARRISTER AT LAW

I am a graduate in Arts and Law of the Australian National University, Canberra. I was first admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of the ACT in 1974 and as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of NSW in 1974, and of the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory in 1988. I practised as a litigation solicitor in partnership in Sydney (1978 - 1985) before commencing at the Sydney Bar in 1985. Since admission as a barrister I have developed a wide practice, which includes Wills and Probate (including contesting a will and Family Provision Act claims) , Equity and Trusts, Commercial Law (including contractual disputes and business disputes), Negligence Law, and Criminal Law.

I have acted for clients who reside outside of N.S.W., in other states and territories of Australia, and overseas, either "ex-pats", or permanent residents of an overseas country who are involved in a matter in a court in New South Wales.

I have served as a member of a Professional Conduct Committee of the NSW Bar Association and an occasional instructor with the Readers' Program of the NSW Bar Association. I have been an arbitrator since 1983 and a mediator since 1985.

I am a member of the Pro Bono panel of the N.S.W. Supreme Court and the District Court of N.S.W.

I deliver lectures to solicitors and other barristers as part of their professional requirements to have ongoing legal education.

I have published and presented a number of papers relating to litigation skills to legal practitioners in N.S.W. and the A.C.T.
