Our work
No one who has been subjected to abuse should feel alone, but seeking justice can be an incredibly scary and daunting time. At MSB, we are able to offer formal or informal discussions with clients who have been victims of abuse, depending upon their needs and circumstances. We will work closely and sensitively with you each step of the way, ensuring that you feel supported throughout the process.
Arrange a consultation:
Our expert public law department acts on behalf of businesses and individuals who need legal representation on matters concerning the Government. We are proud to have developed long-lasting and trusted relationships with the clients we advise, helping them achieve the best possible outcomes. Get in touch with our team of experts to arrange a consultation.
“I am always extremely impressed by the level of commitment all staff members exert, in particular when I have needed to refer a mediation or legal aid matter concerning urgent action. MSB members promptly undertake the necessary action and provide an excellent service.”
Understanding the issue
Our public law team understands the physical, emotional and psychological effects that physical and sexual abuse can cause. We can advise on what course of action may be available to you and can act in claims against individuals, private organisations and public authorities in claiming compensation for the harm caused. Where a public authority is involved then such claim may involve breach of statutory duty, negligence or a breach of Human Rights.
MSB has an in-depth knowledge of all the issues around abuse claims and we provide our clients with a personal service, working on a case-by-case basis to make sure that we provide the right solutions for you.
Why MSB?
We have experience across all areas of public law and actions against public authorities. We can also call upon the expertise of our family, crime and social housing departments who interact with public bodies on a day to day basis. We understand the worrying and stressful issues some of our clients will face, which is why the specific case handler acting for each client will be considered in advance, helping us to provide the best possible service for you.
Funding options
We can offer various methods of funding to our public law clients. The most common method is legal aid as MSB has the benefit of contracts from the Legal Aid Agency for Public Law and also Actions Against Public Authorities. Such funding is subject to assessment of the financial means of a client, and also the merits of a case.
For those clients and cases where Legal Aid is not available, matters can be paid for privately. Depending upon the nature of the instructions we are also able to give consideration to damages-based agreement and no win no fee agreements.
We’re proud of our achievements
