Sedgwick has appointed Amanda Hillier as forensic accounting services head for its Australian operations.

Ms Hillier specialises in class action administration, settlement schemes and quantifying losses for insurance claims related to business interruption, commercial disputes, cyber, personal injury and fatal accidents.

She says her team is “well positioned to support insurance, legal and corporate clients as trusted, independent advisers across a broad range of matters. I’m proud to work with a highly skilled team that brings deep technical expertise together with automation and innovation to help clients navigate challenging loss, litigation and class action matters.”

Ms Hillier has more than 20 years’ forensic accounting experience across the UK and Australia, and joined Sedgwick in 2011.

She was most recently a partner for the Australian forensic accounting team.

“Amanda is a highly respected leader with deep technical expertise and a strong track record of innovation,” Sedgwick Australia EGM Kimberley Daley said.

“Her ability to combine forensic rigor with technology-enabled solutions has helped expand our capacity and deliver better outcomes for clients.

“Amanda’s leadership will be instrumental as demand for complex and large-scale claims support continues to grow.”
