Ivan Dzajkovski

Director
Stacks/Goudkamp
Martin Place, Sydney

Ivan specialises in Compensation law, conducting Motor Vehicle Incident, Liability, and Medical Negligence matters for individuals in NSW. He also handles some Commercial Dispute matters, specifically Professional Indemnity cases for solicitors, and some Superannuation Dispute matters. Prior to joining the Stacks/Goudkamp team in 1994, Ivan was employed as a Junior and then as a Paralegal at G J Sharah Henville Solicitors. He became a Director at Stacks/Goudkamp in 2004. A member of the Australian Lawyers Alliance and an Associate Member of the NSW Law Society, Ivan’s legal career spans 18 years.

A master negotiator with an easy-going nature, Ivan devotes himself to each individual matter. His first job, working in a fruit store from the age of 15 to 21 (as a “fruitologist”), exposed him to many different types of people, with the result that he is able to easily relate to his clients, and respond with empathy. Ivan has handled hundreds of compensation matters, including a number of reported cases, such as Ghantous v Hawkesbury City Council in the High Court, Ryan v Pledge, and Stubbs v NRMA, a Motor Vehicle Incident matter involving a 3 month old baby whose parents were killed, which was one of the largest settlements ever to be awarded in a compensation claim in NSW.

Born in Macedonia and a fluent speaker of Macedonian, Ivan has often conducted matters for Macedonian clients now residing in Australia. He is currently acting for a resident of Macedonia who was injured in a Motor Vehicle Incident while on holiday in NSW.

“Thanks very much for the settlement details and for your kind assistance which was most appreciated. If I need anything further in the future I will happily call you or refer you to any friends.” K.D, Sydney.

The father of two, Ivan spends much of his free time attending his daughters’ dance concerts, and participating in Friday night family dances (with the curtains closed!) He is actively involved in the local community, serving on the fundraising committee of Wheelchair Sports NSW, and competing regularly at his local Golf Club. He will happily recount his moment of glory when he got a hole in one at the Moore Park Golf Club (Par 3, 132 metres, using a 9-iron)! A keen sportsman, Ivan often plays tennis and squash, and will happily watch any type of sporting competition.

Ivan's community involvement includes:

• Fundraising Committee Member of Wheelchair Sports NSW
