About the firm
Claven Burdess Lawyers is a boutique law firm focusing on personal injury and employment law. As directors of the firm, Peter and Michael combine for over 30 years of legal expertise. After spending the majority of their careers at a large personal injury law firm, they founded Claven Burdess Lawyers in 2021.
Michael commenced legal practice in 2006 at a large personal injury law firm, Peter commencing with the same firm a year later. Both Peter and Michael worked extensively in the personal injuries area including WorkCover, TAC, public liability and product liability claims.
They also worked in the employment law field, which was invaluable to their injuries practice and allowed them to provide a better service to the workers they represented.
We know our practice areas well, but we’re not just good lawyers. We understand that people can be worried about seeing a lawyer who’s got no personal touch or will talk in a legal language you might not understand.
Many personal injury firms will only represent injured people if they have a ‘common law’ claim. We assist injured people with all of their potential entitlements.
Michael and Peter are based at our offices at 88 Liebig Street, Warrnambool. They also offer in-person appointments in Ararat, Colac and in Melbourne and regularly represent people from those areas. Their LinkedIn profiles can be found here for Michael and here for Peter.
Both Peter and Michael are Practising Members of the Law Institute of Victoria.
