QC
Speaker Profile
David Galbally is a leading Australian QC and son of Australia's greatest criminal lawyer Frank Galbally. He has appeared in more than a dozen murder trials with his father.
David is well known in the media as the legal commentator on Mornings on 3AW with Neil Mitchell and as the former host of the Nine Network's consumer affairs program Watchdog. His past sporting appointments include the Chairman of the Melbourne Knights Soccer Club and Board Member of the Collingwood Football Club. He is currently the Chairman of the Royal Children's Hospital's Centre for Hormone Research and Chairman of the Transport Workers Union and the TranSuper Superannuation Funds.
During his career, David has been involved in numerous high profile trials including representing James Bazley (charged with the murder of Douglas and Isabelle Wilson and the conspiracy to murder Donald McKay), Demiran (charged over the bombing of the Turkish consulate in South Yarra), Alistair Lynch in the AFL drug case and the Mexican banker, Carlos Cabal.
Over the years, David has become a highly sought after authority on the issue of corporate governance and has worked with many of Australia's largest organisations. In his presentation 'From the Boardroom to the Courtroom', he discusses the processes, policies and laws that affect the way a company operates, to help divert them away from the many pitfalls associated with corporate conduct in today's business environment.
David is an astute and articulate expert. He can be called upon to analyse or comment on news events or general issues relating to the legal system, crime, corporate conduct and social concerns. He is very much at the cutting-edge of change and was recently described as 'a shaper of opinion, thought and events'.
He is an excellent keynote or conference speaker; or for that change of format, an outstanding hypothetical or forum facilitator.
