Laird Macdonald

Partner

I do not come from a legal background and I understand that a legal claim can be a scary concept for people to consider. It is a great privilege to help an individual through their case in a way that shields them from the stress, clearly explains the process and delivers an excellent legal result.

I make myself available to my clients and make sure they know I can help them when they have questions or concerns about their case.

I have worked for nearly 20 years as a lawyer and I have always focused on helping an individual who has been wronged.

I have been at the cutting edge of abuse law for a long time; I was the first lawyer in Victoria to set aside a previous deed of release where someone was forced to settle a claim when the odds were stacked against them.

I am proud to fight hard and get proper compensation for my clients.

I have sued churches, religious orders and the State of Victoria for the abuse that occurred in schools, churches, homes, and foster care.

I have acted for primary and secondary victims in damages claims and always work hard to get the best possible result.

At Rightside we don’t have a string of expensive offices, we don’t have dozens of partners and we don’t have expensive marketing campaigns to fund. What we do is prepare your claim properly and fight hard for 100% of what your claim is worth.
