We enjoy a national reputation as having one of the leading abuse teams in the country. We specialise in recovering compensation for victims of sexual abuse, child abuse, rape and sexual assault. Our expertise in this field has led to us being featured in the national media with TV coverage and articles in newspapers such as The Sunday Times and The Guardian.
We are recommended by the influential guide to the legal profession, The Legal 500, which has had this to say about us:
“Slee Blackwell have vast experience of complex claims arising out of sexual abuse. They are the clear market leaders in the West Country.”

Our experienced, caring, and compassionate team of lawyers is based here in Taunton, Somerset. They will listen without judgment to your story with patience and sensitivity.
We are members of the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers, and understand that when an abuse survivor speaks to us, it could be the first time they have confronted their ordeal or spoken to anyone about it. We also appreciate that victims often worry about the consequences for themselves and their families of speaking out. Therefore, every effort is made to ensure the process is as painless as possible.
We have successfully recovered compensation for victims of abuse against:
- Care homes and institutions.
- Churches and religious organisations,
- Schools, including boarding schools.
- Professionals in positions of trust.
- Employers.
- Youth organisations, including the Scouts
In addition, we deal with domestic and physical abuse within the home.
We also deal with CICA (Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority) claims for victims of violent crime, including victims of rape. Read our case study of a successful criminal injuries claim where we recovered over £93,000 for a client who was originally offered just £3,300 before she came to us.

If you wish to discuss a possible claim, then call us for a free and totally confidential telephone consultation. Alternatively, you can contact us by email or, if you prefer, we can meet with you on a face-to-face basis at our office in Taunton, Somerset, where the team is based.
With our specialist knowledge and experience, we have access to the very best medical experts, barristers, doctors, counsellors and psychiatrists both here in Somerset and elsewhere in the country. We can therefore put together the very best case possible.
