As Managing Partner, Tim White  has a personal injury client base as diverse as Australian society itself, has assisted injured people for more than 28 years and embraces the unique elements related to his varied outside interests and associations.

Chief among these is Tim’s membership of the Royal Australian Air Force Reserves, in which he serves as a Legal Officer with the rank of Squadron Leader. His involvement in the RAAF has inspired Tim to become one of few Australian lawyers to specialise in representing Defence Force members, veterans and their families in military compensation claims all around Australia.

Tim has assisted and advocated for Defence Force members and veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, East Timor, Iraq, Afghanistan and other conflicts in the Middle East. He has tackled thousands of historic and complex military compensation claims relating to injuries arising from service right across the globe.

A strong advocate for Defence Force members and veterans, Tim provides legal advice and support to them relating to their dealings with the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). This support and advice is similar to what is provided by a DVA Advocate, or RSL Advocate – backed up by 25+ years of experience.

He also assists civilian Commonwealth employees who are injured at work with Comcare compensation claims all around Australia. He has represented clients in class action claims, those exposed to asbestos and other dangerous chemicals, or those with catastrophic injuries arising from motor vehicle accidents and workplace incidents.

Tim has represented clients in numerous long legal battles that have established important legal precedents for others. He draws on the lessons he has learned from another of his outside passions, marathon running. Indeed, the same tenacity, commitment and discipline that Tim shows on long-distance runs is also a distinctive feature of his service as a lawyer.

Tim thrives on the wide variety of his clientele – from CEOs to apprentices. He devotes unquestionable commitment to all of his clients that have been injured in a large variety of circumstances.

His desire to fight for the underdog is his strongest professional motivation; and one which has made him a pillar of the firm throughout his long career with TGB.

In 2020, Tim was president of the Law Society of South Australia.
