Nerida Jessup, Partner, Herbert Smith Freehills
Nerida is an industry leader helping clients manage their risk. Keeping businesses and their people safe (physically, psychologically and reputationally) is at the core of what she does. With a strong background in safety, Nerida acts for many of Australia’s leading corporates, but she is increasingly being called upon to advise companies and boards on complex issues including around the emerging risk areas captured under psychosocial regulations. Highly attuned to the significant reputational and financial risk of these areas, both at an organisational and a personal level, Nerida is accustomed to helping clients navigate these areas where regulation and practice is still evolving. Nerida supports clients in crisis and incident response as well as investigation prosecution, inquests and inquiries. Clients praise Nerida for her ability to cut through complexity and focus on solutions. Her exposure across a broad range of industries and business models allows her to tailor her approach to the specific needs of her clients.
