Congratulations to Natasha Robins
This recognition shows the impact Natasha is having in historical and institutional abuse law.
It is a confronting and challenging area to work in. Getting recognition and compensation for clients can be extremely complex, and it often takes a long time. Survivors are frequently coming forward about events that happened decades ago, and they need a lawyer who will guide them with patience, care and persistence.
Natasha is four years post-admission and is already known for her strong and successful advocacy for survivors. When the path gets difficult, she keeps fighting for her clients. She has worked on several complex matters and has helped clients from all walks of life receive the compensation and recognition they deserve.
