Lex Medicus

What Lex Medicus does

Lex Medicus Pty Ltd is an Australian medico-legal services provider founded in 2010 by Orthopaedic Surgeon Mr Thomas Kossmann and headquartered in South Yarra, Victoria. The company connects law firms, insurance companies, and government entities with a national panel of clinically active medical specialists who deliver Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs), Joint Medical Examinations, Medical Negligence/Professional Indemnity assessments, Desktop Reviews, Expert Witness testimony, and Medico-Legal Report Writing, with an Express Report turnaround of two business days available for urgent matters. Service delivery is supported by a proprietary digital stack consisting of an Online Booking Platform, a Client Portal, and an Expert/Consultant Portal that handle scheduling, document upload/download, and case tracking across multiple Australian states and internationally.

The business operates as a B2B professional-services firm rather than a software product. Revenue is generated per assessment/report, with fees determined on booking confirmation and standard 14-day invoice terms; additional fees apply for multi-body-system assessments, complex matters, or allied-health assistance, and cancellation fees apply for late changes. Go-to-market combines direct client engagement via a client-services team, content marketing and SEO around medico-legal topics, and educational seminars offering CPD points to legal and medical professionals. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 45001 certifications and is structured around the codified quality-assurance review of every report prior to delivery, with telehealth (Video Assessments) supplementing in-person examinations. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no enterprise customers publicly named in the source material.
