Patrick Leader-Elliott

Patrick has extensive experience in complex commercial and insolvency litigation, and in the investigation of fraud. He has acted in civil cases in the Federal Court and Supreme Court of South Australia relating to employee fraud and worked closely with SAPOL in related criminal prosecutions.

In addition to these matters, Patrick worked on the long-running Bell litigation, which resulted in the recovery of almost AU$2 billion for creditors of the insolvent Bell group of companies, and investigations related to proceedings against an insolvent company’s former directors and accountant.

Patrick has taught at the University of South Australia, an experience which assists his ability to effectively explain and present difficult technical concepts.
