Biography
Indraveer practices principally in commercial and employment law, and the judicial review of administrative decisions. He routinely appears unled at both trial and appellate level, with the majority of his work in the Supreme, District and Local Courts (NSW), and the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
In particular he has an active practice in residential home building, appearing for both builders and home owners; as well as appearing in disciplinary proceedings against medical practitioners, where he appears for both the Health Care Complaints Commission, and practitioners subject to complaints.
He accepts direct briefs from in house counsel.
He was junior counsel assisting the Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern Territory in 2017, and was a solicitor for approximately 10 years prior to coming to the bar, at the HIV/AIDS Legal Centre, where he was the principal.
