We are delighted to announce the appointment of Stratos Savvas as Special Counsel, based in our Melbourne office.

Stratos is a specialist lawyer with over 16 years’ experience in workers compensation. Stratos has a deep expertise of Victorian workers compensation legislation and case law, and acts and advises self-insurers and employers in Victoria across a wide range of workers compensation related issues. The addition of Stratos to Turks’ insurance team adds further strength and depth to our Victorian capabilities.

Over the course of his career Stratos has worked in both private practice and in-house roles, acting for WorkSafe scheme insurers, self-insurers and employers across the spectrum of Victorian workers compensation matters. For the past 6 ½ years Stratos has managed the legal/disputes portfolio for the Group Insurance arm of Wesfarmers, initially in the Southern States, and then on a national level.

We are thrilled that Stratos has joined the team at Turks. The expansion of our Employers Liability team in Melbourne is another step towards providing direct, on the ground support when and where our valued clients need us.

If you would like to discuss any of your claims needs, please do not hesitate to reach out to Stratos or any of our dedicated team.
