On 15 October 2013 Adam Tayler attended the Super Ratings conference in Melbourne. The conference was a gathering of major superannuation fund trustees and insurers acting in total and permanent disability and death claims. Adam was on a panel talking about the recent increase in the number of claims by superannuation fund members. He emphasised that members are entitled to and should be encouraged to access independent legal advice in relation to their entitlements. He discussed with a panel of experts the need for lawyers to be involved in disability insurance claims and the value which they bring.
