For TGB Lawyers’ Alexandra Harris, communication is the key to building strong relationships with her clients and delivering the best possible outcome. She wants her clients to make informed decisions and feel as though they are in control of the process, taking the time to explain their matter to them and what their rights and entitlements are.
Alexandra’s background gives her a unique perspective and skills. She holds a teaching degree and was once a research assistant for the University of South Australia. Today she applies these critical research skills in the legal field, while her teaching ability means she can explain complex legal matters to clients simply, with patience and empathy.
She believes every client has individual needs, goals and expectations and that taking the time to work out what these are will deliver the best outcome. There is no uniform approach.
Alexandra specialises in helping her clients with a wide variety of personal injury claims, including Comcare claims.
As a personal injury lawyer, Alexandra understands that many people are overwhelmed dealing with the legal system. She gets immense satisfaction from helping these people by taking some of the stress out of the situation and offering reassurance.
Alexandra also has a keen interest in cyber security, and is a member of the Legal Technology Committee of the Law Society of South Australia (and their Accident Compensation Committee).
Working closely with TGB partner Tim White, Alexandra consistently shows tenacity and creativity, exploring all legal avenues for her clients while trying to come up with different ways to get results. She feels it is important to be open and honest with clients – and always contactable to answer any questions or concerns.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Highly Recommend!!! Alexandra Harris was and still is the legal advisor for the majority of my 4 year workcover claim. She was absolutely outstanding, my claim was quite complex and not very straight forward, without Alex I never would have achieved the recovery or improved as good as I have. She made my life so much easier by dealing with all the legal stuff, she dealt with all communication between myself and workcover/the insurer. Right from the get go she never once forgot a thing I told her, she was extremely professional and passionate, she knew what she was doing and made everything so easy. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for me, I would recommend her above all else without hesitation. 10 out 10 Alex!!!”
“Alex Harris is absolutely and undoubtedly, a force to be reckoned with. With her knowledge, understanding of this process, and her experience and demeanour, my claims were finally and appropriately accepted. I am no longer living in fear that I’ll be injured with no medical care or help whilst the injury is being resolved. That is not only a gift to me that I don’t think I could ever thank her enough for, but a reason to highly recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in the same position. I came to TGB, in quite a state, with denied claims and almost no help but my doctors. I had been living in pain, fear, and very little sleep, which, if you’re in the same position, you’ll understand, does quite a number on your executive functioning. I was ready to give up, completely. I am more than glad I instead chose to contact TGB, and my case was assigned to Alex. They had been amazing in a claim for a car accident I had been injured in as a young girl and they have again, now helped me not only through what felt like a nightmare, but to win the case I had to enter into with workcover. Alex took over and covered then handled everything and more, that I could not up against such a big entity in my condition. Here’s to hoping I don’t need them a third time, but if I ever need representation in my life again, I know where I’m going. Thank you Alex, and TGB”
“Just want to say a big thankyou to Alexandra Harris who has been busy working on my not-so-easy case. She has been wonderful in every way possible in explaining, helping me through the last few years and has finally settled the case for me. I will highly recommend Tindall Gask Bentley to anyone I know in need of help and especially will be mentioning Alex. She is a great asset to the firm. Once again thankyou to everyone involved helping me out.”
“Has been an absolute pleasure being represented by Alexandra Harris at TGB in my Workcover case, they are great to deal with and know their stuff, would highly recommend them. Nothing is too hard for them and their professionalism is outstanding. Definitely 10 out of 10.”
“Alex was wonderful to deal with, personable yet professional during every step. I have no hesitation in recommending her to other who are in need of a personal injury lawyer. Forever grateful with the outcome she was able to achieve for me.“
“Alex from TGB was incredible. After having a very bad experience with my first lawyer . She had lots of errors to sort through for my Workcover case. Not only did she achieve that but also a fabulous settlement outcome only eight months after taking my case . I highly recommend both herself and the firm. Best decision I ever made . You will not regret retaining Alex or TGB.”
“We recently had a claim for Industrial hearing loss. Alex & Dimitra were very kind and caring and kept us updated throughout the process. Alex was always available to answer any questions we had. It was a very stress-free experience for us, and the result was positive. We would recommend TGB Lawyers to anyone requiring legal help.”
“I had Alex for my workers comp claim and all I can say is amazing. Coming into this whole experience of being denied at the start then dealing with a lawyer it escalated my anxieties but Alex was always professional, empathetic and listened to my concerns and worries. My claim is now accepted with Alex’s professional skills. Dealing with Alex has been a godsend and I would say to anyone who is worried about challenging WorkCover to not hesitate and call. She has really helped myself and my little family and we cannot thank her anymore than we have already.”
“Alexandra Harris went, and still is, going above and beyond for my claim, very professional and also cares not only about your case, but about you as well. To have someone fight as hard as they do for you – there are no words to be able to thank them. Tindall Gask Bentley is the only firm I recommend. Thank you for everything.”
“From start to finish, Alex has been nothing but professional. She has worked tirelessly to get the results we wanted. Communication was excellent. Thank you.”
“Alexandra and her team went above and beyond with my claim, were so professional and supportive in so many ways. They know what they’re doing and they really care about you.”
“Very good lawyers… I could not ask for better people in my corner helping me. I recommend them very highly. Thank you very much Alexandra.”
“Alex did an absolutely amazing job… she was incredibly supportive, patient and professional. Alex guided me through an arduous process and I couldn’t be more pleased with her services and the outcome she achieved.”
“Dealing with Alex was a breeze, and her genuine concern for us was felt.”
“Alexandra was incredibly knowledgeable in this area of law, and she had RTWSA acknowledge my claim, and accept my claim in my stated circumstances, before the hearing date of the Conference.”
