Who we are

Founded in 2014 by Samantha Robson and Robert Shaw, robsonshaw Solicitors was created with a singular vision: to offer unparalleled expertise with exceptional client service.

As a niche firm, our sole focus on compensation claims for sexual abuse survivors has earned us a notable reputation for our expertise.
With over 60 years of combined experience, Sam and Robert have dedicated their careers to advocating for individuals against powerful entities such as insurers, local authorities, and large institutions.

The Robsonshaw Difference

Direct Access To Solicitors

Your case is personally handled by a specialist solicitor who only deals with sexual abuse claims.

24/7 Legal Service

Our commitment to accessibility means you can reach us anytime, ensuring you're never left to deal with concerns alone.

Empathetic Legal Process

We guide you through each step providing expert legal support from start to finish.

No Financial Worries

We offer No Win No Fee Agreements, funding for your disbursements, competitive success fees and no unnecessary insurance.

Cost Shortfall

Other firms may deduct from your compensation the difference between your legal fees and the amount of costs they can recover from your opponent. At robsonshaw, we will never ask you to pay the shortfall in your legal fees.

Qualifications

Our solicitors will take sole charge of your case and guarantee that it will not be passed to an unqualified, inexperienced `lawyer’. Lawyers are not necessarily qualified solicitors. Many firms promise your case will be dealt with by "lawyers" but often this simply means your case is taken on by unqualified and inexperienced junior staff, something we at robsonshaw can guarantee will not happen.

Beware of claims management companies who have little or no legal expertise. They will simply sell your case to the highest bidder regardless of expertise and your wishes.

Providing support, compassion and empathy

Of course, legal prowess alone is not enough. Compassion, empathy, and unwavering support are the cornerstones of our practice. Understanding the delicate nature of our work, we ensure every client feels heard, respected, and empowered.

On that note, we are always very happy to speak to you informally at the outset to hear your issues and give guidance about your options. There is no charge for this.

We know that survivors do not necessarily operate on strict office hours and therefore you can call or leave a message with Sam or Robert at any time of the day or night. Our 24/7 office availability reflects our commitment to being there for you, whenever you need us.
