Leigh Davidson is a leading NSW personal injury lawyer and the founding Principal Solicitor of Advantage Legal, a multi-award-winning personal injury compensation law firm based in the Sydney CBD. A NSW Law Society Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law, Leigh is widely recognised as one of New South Wales' most influential plaintiff lawyers and a respected voice in NSW compensation law reform.
Leigh brings more than 15 years of experience across plaintiff personal injury firms, ASX-listed insurers, and NSW government tribunals. This unusually broad background (having worked on every side of a compensation claim) gives Leigh a rare strategic perspective and allows him to deliver decisive, commercially astute, and empathetic representation to injured clients across NSW.
Leigh's practice focuses on motor vehicle accident compensation under the NSW Compulsory Third Party (CTP) scheme, workers compensation claims. Leigh also works Australia-wide across Total and Permanent Disability (TPD), superannuation, and income protection claims. He is particularly passionate about representing injured cyclists, advocating for safer roads, and holding all government and non-government stakeholders to account under both the NSW CTP and Workers Compensation schemes.
Leigh adopts a rehabilitation-focused model of legal practice, ensuring injured clients receive timely access to treatment and meaningful support throughout their claim before securing the maximum compensation they are entitled to. He is approachable, direct, and committed to providing certainty to clients during the most uncertain period of their lives.
Beyond client work, Leigh is a recognised contributor to NSW personal injury law reform. He serves as Deputy Chair of the Injury Compensation Committee of the Law Society of NSW, regularly appearing at NSW Parliamentary Inquiries and engaging with Courts, Tribunals, and compensation scheme regulators. He is also a Committee Member of the Law Council of Australia's Futures Committee, focused on the safe and ethical adoption of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies in legal practice, and a Non-Executive Board Member of Bicycle NSW.
