Experience. Results. On your side.

Our clients deserve and need a strong lawyer and that’s what we deliver.  We treat our clients with compassion and understanding, and provide clear information and advice.  But with the defendants, we take a strong and forceful approach, making them face up to their failures and pay our clients maximum compensation.

Our lawyers have won claims for  people abused as children in orphanages, schools, and other institutions and people suffering from asbestos diseases.  Rightside Legal have run more trials for survivors of abuse than any firm in Australia and fight hard for each and every client. Our results are unrivalled.  We were the first firm to beat the Melbourne Catholic Archdiocese in court in an abuse claim, the first firm to beat the Christian Brothers, and the first firm to beat the Victorian Government.  We’ve also won verdicts against the Western Bulldogs Football Club, Geelong College, and Waller Legal (a law firm which negligently represented a sexually abused client).

We have run and won trials in Victoria and Western Australia.  Our lawyers represented thalidomiders damaged by the most notorious drug of the 20th century, a class action which ended in a $100 million settlement.

No Win. No Fee.

Capped Pricing.

At Rightside we don’t have a string of expensive offices, dozens of partners or expensive marketing campaigns to fund. We limit the number of cases we take on, prepare your claim properly and fight hard for 100% of what your claim is worth.

We understand that injured or ill people are often anxious and uncertain about the whole legal process. We’ll do our best to eliminate the uncertainties. We work on a No Win No Fee basis – that means we fund the litigation, and you only pay when we succeed. We also cap our fees to give our clients greater certainty.
