We recognise the courage it takes to come forward and speak about your experiences. Our team provides a safe, confidential environment for you to share your story. Our lawyers approach each case with sensitivity, empathy, and a determination to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients. We will guide you through every step of the legal process, ensuring you feel supported, informed, and empowered throughout.


If you or a loved one has suffered abuse in an institutional setting, we encourage you to reach out to discuss whether you may be entitled to compensation. This area of law is constantly evolving so it is important to seek advice from a team of lawyers experienced in historical abuse claims.


Commins Hendriks operates on a “No Win, No Fee” basis for these cases, meaning you only pay our legal fees if your claim is successful.
