Tricia Hobson is a globally recognised leader in the insurance sector, with more than 25 years' experience spanning claims, complex multi-party litigation, cross-border disputes, investigations, and arbitration.
She has one of the longest-standing and most significant London market practices in Australia, dividing her time between DLA Piper's Sydney and London offices to create a strong bridge between the two markets. A leading class actions lawyer, Tricia has played a central role in strategy and negotiations for some of Australia's largest cases, covering natural catastrophes, securities, mass tort, and major infrastructure and construction disputes.
Her expertise extends across directors' and officers' disputes, complex coverage matters, professional indemnity, warranty and indemnity, cyber risk, ASIC-related actions, bribery and corruption investigations, and whistleblower claims. She also regularly advises boards and directors on risk, governance, cyber, diversity & inclusion, and organisational culture.
Recognised as a "generational leader without peer for London market knowledge" in The Legal 500 Asia Pacific Hall of Fame, Tricia is also ranked Band 1 by Chambers Global, where clients describe her as "one of the best class action lawyers in Australia."
Beyond her legal practice, Tricia is deeply committed to giving back — mentoring and coaching within the profession and serving as a non-executive director for not-for-profit organisations.
