About
Built by someone who has run Queensland personal injury files.
Not by an outsourcing company that added a legal division.
The founder
Stephanie Khaw
Stephanie Khaw is a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland, admitted in October 2019, and an advocate and solicitor of the High Court of Malaya, admitted in November 2014. She holds a Bachelor of Laws from Bond University, a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice from the Australian National University, and a Certificate of Legal Practice from Advanced Tertiary College.
She started in the area of Queensland Personal Injury as a paralegal, working on files for a Queensland practice for five years from 2014 before her admission as a solicitor in 2019. Since then, she manages between 80 to a 100 CTP, WorkCover and PIPA claims with one Queensland plaintiff firm, and later approximately 130 WorkCover files with a second Queensland firm from 2025. She runs files end to end, from notice of claim through to compulsory conference.
Twelve years working on Queensland personal injury files teaches you where you spend most of your time working. It is not in the advice and decision making, but the assembling of the chronology nobody has time to build properly, the disclosure bundle that keeps getting pushed to next week, the schedule of damages rebuilt from scratch because the last version is three medical reports out of date. That work has to be done well, it has to be done by someone who knows the Queensland schemes, to ensure the firm continues to provide excellent service to the clients in a timely manner.
Quality over quantity. Build your firm on a foundation of good reputation, not the volume of your clients; as over time, one client who speaks highly of you outweighs a crowd that doesn't recommend you.
Skhawling Advisors exists to assist you with the heavy lifting of drafting work so the solicitors who own the matter can concentrate on client care.
The team
Small, specialised, and employed.
Our file preparation team is based in Malaysia. We recruit law graduates, non-practising lawyers and experienced law firm clerks, and we train them specifically on the Queensland personal injury schemes — the notices, the time limits, the disclosure obligations and the forms — before they are given a file. They are employees on written contracts, with confidentiality obligations that survive their employment.
We would rather turn work away than take on a firm we cannot serve properly.
Continued education and training
We train them. You receive the work.
Every person who touches a Queensland file is trained on the schemes before they are given one — the notices, the disclosure obligations, the forms, and which of the three schemes a file belongs in.
That training does not stop at induction. Queensland personal injury moves: forms are replaced and thresholds shift. We keep the team current on each change as it happens, not once a problem has already reached one of your files.
You do not have to build any of this. We carry the employment and the ongoing training. You receive work from people who already know the scheme your file sits in.
Why choose us?
Your hours, an Australian legal system, and a cost base that works against a capped fee.
We work your hours. A large pool of English-speaking law graduates. A common law legal system, so the concepts are familiar rather than foreign. And a cost base that lets us do careful work at a price that makes sense against a capped fee.
