Waller Legal
About Waller Legal
Waller Legal works exclusively to provide legal representation to survivors of institutional childhood sexual abuse.
Dr Vivian Waller, Principal Solicitor, has represented sexual assault survivors since she was admitted to practice in 1995.
Waller Legal currently employs a total staff of about 16, including 8 solicitors and 5 legal assistants. We are located in Collingwood, Victoria.
We currently perform legal work for survivors in Victoria, but we are happy to consider cases in other states and territories.
In Pursuit of Justice
We listen. We act. Our job is to help people to obtain compensation. We represented witnesses at Royal Commission hearings and we agitated for law reform and a National Redress Scheme.
We look after child abuse survivors. Unlike other firms, we don’t do anything else.
"No Win No Charge"
We offer "No Win No Charge" arrangements so lack of funds will never prevent access to justice for good causes. If we offer you a No Win No Charge arrangement, we will also fund disbursements so that there are no upfront costs.
