Bio
Phillip Neilson
Megan is the consumate professional in her role as a senior lawyer within a large and diverse global insurance group. Her insightful and professional manner allowed me to be able to make qualified decisions on very difficult manners affecting both profitability and reputational issues within and external to the company. Her ability to be able glean all the relevant facts and make recommendations in a timely manner created considerable savings to the company whilst also preserving our strong and respected reputation. Having said this Megan was also an extremely competent and valued negotiator against sometimes aggressive plaintiffs and their legal teams. With all this considerable experience Megan now provides excellent training and awareness programs concerning topical legal issues and her team are usually over subscribed to any courses due to the value such courses provide to the recipients. I wouldn't hesitate to engage Megan in either of fields of law and/or training and commend her to others for her attention to detail and insightful and entertaining presentation skills.
