Kara Hill

Kara Hill is a class actions senior associate based in our Sydney office.

Kara has worked on a number of successful class actions and social justice cases, including:

• a class action on behalf of more than 300,000 MLC Super Fund members alleging breaches of trustee duties in the implementation of the MySuper reforms, which settled for $64.25 million
• the car loan flex commission class actions against Westpac, ANZ and Macquarie in relation to their dealer‑originated car loan businesses, which settled for a combined $272 million in 2024–25 on behalf of hundreds of thousands of people
• the Radio Rentals class action, which achieved $29 million in compensation for almost 50,000 customers
• the Grand Western Lodge class action, which achieved more than $4 million in compensation for 50 people with disabilities who were allegedly assaulted, falsely imprisoned or suffered financial loss while residents
• the Bellamy's shareholder class action, which settled for $49.7 million

Kara achieved first class honours in her law degree at the University of Technology Sydney and began her career with the firm as a paralegal while completing her studies. During her time with the firm, she also gained experience in employment and industrial law, acting for underpaid 7‑Eleven workers. Kara has volunteered at Redfern Legal Centre, Marrickville Legal Centre and the NSW Aboriginal Legal Service.

Kara is a strong believer in using her legal education and experience to expose injustice and secure compensation for people affected by unlawful conduct.

“I have always been passionate about areas of law that can address inequality between consumers and businesses, and citizens and governments,” says Kara.

“In my interactions with clients, I take a compassionate approach to understanding their needs and keeping their best interests in mind. Our clients often face complex and urgent legal issues, requiring a balance of individualised attention and problem‑solving skills to build strong relationships and achieve effective outcomes.”

“Practising in class actions allows me to make a genuine difference in people’s lives by ensuring governments and businesses are held accountable for their actions.”
