John Walsh

I have found DW Fox Tucker’s work absolutely first rate with an emphasis on minimising costs. I have established an extremely good working relationship with John and the rest of the team, and their advices are clear and concise with relevant legal precedents. Their ability to meet legislative time frames and go the “extra yard” to assist our staff in the performance of their legislative duties during the initial stages of our Self-Insurance licence has been a major factor in our successful re-application, and I have always found John and his team available and happy to discuss claims management. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to any prospective client.

I have personally worked with John Walsh and his team over the last two decades. Further several of my staff members have routinely engaged with him.

We have collectively found DW’s (Fox Tucker) to be highly professional in their conduct of ‘people risk’ matters. Importantly there is a healthy and realistic pragmatism to their assessment of issues and offering of advice. This translates into ‘good strategy’ either on individual file matters or more strategic issues often involving organisational structures, policy, practice and procedure and resourcing.

They also are very good in working in a collaborative fashion with third party advisor firms like ours. This sees deadlines being met, outcomes being achieved, and clients being satisfied with overall results. 

Personally, I look forward to further engagements with them (and in particular John) into the future. It is always pleasing to have a good support partner alongside!

We really enjoy working with John Walsh and his team in managing our workers compensation matters. They are professional and practical in working towards achieving our commercial objectives. In addition to their experience, capabilities and excellent client service, we really do value their ongoing accessibility, responsiveness, efficiency and results focused approach.

One matter that they completed recently for us resulted in a significant return on investment for our organisation, I genuinely believe that the reason we achieved such a positive outcome was because we had partnered with DW Fox Tucker. I can highly recommend the firm’s services and we will continue to work with them.

We needed to finalise the workers compensation claim of a family member that had ended in tragedy. We were angry and grieving over what had happened and were unsure of how to proceed. The other party was hostile and seemed to hold all the cards. John Walsh had been recommended to us by another professional in the workers compensation field. From the very first phone call, John Walsh and his team were professional and approachable every step of the way. We needed to be heard and John’s team took the time to listen to us and keep us informed of processes and steps taken. John and the team navigated what became an emotionally fraught and difficult case. We never felt abandoned, pushed aside, over-ridden or ‘managed’ by anyone in DWFoxTucker. Every person we dealt with from the receptionist, to other members of the legal team and John Walsh himself, was welcoming, respectful and professional. John and his team succeeded and the case outcome was well above and beyond what we hoped for. We thank John Walsh and his team for taking the case on, for being fearless and standing for us when we couldn’t. We cannot commend John Walsh and the team at DW Fox Tucker highly enough.

I am the South Australian State Manager for Group TeamCover, managing Wesfarmer’s claims management shared service. DW Fox Tucker (formerly Donaldson Walsh) have been providing workers compensation legal services to Wesfarmers since 2005.

John and Patrick Walsh have extensive knowledge and experience and provide exceptional customer service to myself, my team and the many Wesfarmers’ brands. I have utilised John and Patrick’s expertise on specific claims management projects which has assisted with achieving our business outcomes. DW Fox Tucker provide value added services by way of training and newsletters that has positively assisted staff with their technical knowledge. I look forward to the continuing working relationship between Wesfarmers and DW Fox Tucker.
