Abuse Law and Survivor Litigation

SLD Lawyers have more than 20 years experience working as personal injury lawyers in both sexual abuse, institutional abuse and large catastrophic personal injury matters.
  SLD Lawyers have a sound knowledge of the institutional attitudes and ‘claims mindset’ adopted by many big and small institutions and how they respond to victims of sexual abuse and the common law litigation process. SLD has significant understanding and expertise in the processes necessary to work around those challenges with such bodies to achieving a positive outcome and compensation for our clients.
 A trusted advisor to his clients across all claims our Principal Lawyer, Michael adopts an open, pragmatic and compassionate approach to his matters – he is keen to achieve the best outcome consistent with his client’s needs and wants whilst preserving their dignity at all times. Michael is known to be a very empathetic practitioner and skilled advisor.

Our lawyers have had many clients that have been traumatised from experiences in their past and we have represented such clients providing legal and at times emotional support to them. SLD do not consider our role confined to providing legal advice for clients only – key to achieving that outcome is through a genuine approach of trust, openness and willingness to listen to our clients.  Many times, SLD finds our clients have an emotional reaction at the first meeting as it is often the first time that our clients have spoken to a person outside of their support circle about the issues that they are facing. Often there are times that clients just seek someone to answer the phone when they call.
