Slater & Gordon Lawyers
Slater & Gordon is a proud supporter of the Bernie Banton Foundation.
Slater & Gordon has been fighting for the rights of asbestos victims and their families for over 25 years. From the first asbestos cancer verdict, through the battles to bring CSR to account over Wittenoom, to the historic High Court victory for asbestos-affected waterside workers, to our pro bono work for Greg Combet and Bernie Banton which led to the historic James Hardie agreement, we were there from the start and we'll be there to see it through. The guiding ethos of Slater & Gordon has always been the promotion of social justice and fair access to the legal system for all Australians. These principles have decisively shaped the legal work that Slater & Gordon has accepted, the causes that Slater & Gordon has supported and the way that Slater & Gordon has conducted its own affairs.
It has seen Slater & Gordon take on some of Australia’s biggest companies and government and risk of its own survival to see justice done. It has also led to Slater & Gordon establishing and supporting like minded charitable organisations, including the Slater & Gordon Asbestos Research Fund, which has donated close to a million dollars to research into asbestos disease, and establishing Slater and Gordon social work services to assist our clients.
