We’re a little bit different.
About vbr Lawyers
vbr Lawyers is a team of compensation lawyers who have your back. We’re big on getting you the compensation you deserve. We’re a little bit different — the opposite of the big law firms.
vbr Lawyers is a firm that set out to be a little bit different.
vbr Lawyers was founded back in 2017 by Greg Black, Sean Ryan, and John Vandeleur. The trio had previously worked together at a larger compensation firm. They each worked as partners in the firm and found themselves overseeing a few offices — it’s where they realised that bigger did not always equal better. It’s where the idea for vbr Lawyers started.
We’re intentionally smaller. To offer you better.
With each of our owners managing a small to medium team, we have fewer offices to manage, lower overheads, and more time, attention, and resources to offer our clients.
Despite being smaller, our teams are vastly experienced. With an intentional approach to business, we hire with knowledge and experience in mind. It means we have experienced lawyers running all of our claims — not paralegals or juniors.
We set out to offer better service, lower fees & bigger wins.
This is everything we wanted our firm to do. We wanted to create an experience for our clients that was supportive and simple that would help demystify the compensation process. More importantly, we wanted to put more money back into the pockets of our clients, which should be the main aim of any compensation law firm.
So it’s important to us that we win a bigger compensation claim for you and that we keep our fees low, so the outcome of the claim can provide you with a genuine opportunity to move forward with your life.
Better balance for our lawyers means better outcomes for you.
Another aspect of our firm’s structure is creating a family-friendly model for our lawyers. We didn’t want to create that classic law firm culture where partners are constantly travelling and missing their families. We’ve developed a firm where there’s enough balance for our lawyers to see their families and create a healthy work-life balance.
This directly benefits you, too. It means your lawyer has the time and space to produce really high-quality work that directly supports you and your claim.
The vbr vision was a firm where our directors could oversee the quality of our cases and claims.
We set out to create a firm that was the right size. By maintaining a small to medium-sized team, we can keep a clear view across our team.
This — paired with thoughtful hiring decisions and quality professional development in our team — means our clients always receive an amazing level of service.
Our mission? That’s to continue winning quality outcomes and bigger claims for those who need it most.
Our mission is something we keep in mind every day. It’s not just a headline on our website. It’s what our team works towards daily — in every claim we run and every client we support.
It’s our company values that help our team achieve this.
Our company values are principles ingrained in our people. We live these values every single day.
A thorough approach
Some firms churn and burn through claims. It’s an approach called ‘settle low and bring in the dough’. We take a more thorough approach. It means our claims are considered, hold more weight and evidence, and typically win bigger payouts.
Offer compassionate support
Our clients are often experiencing the worst period of their lives. It’s so important for our team to take a compassionate approach and provide support that’s based in care and empathy for your circumstances.
Think beyond profit
Compensation lawyers get a bad rap for being focused on money and profit. It means a lot to us that we go against the grain here. We don’t want to be greedy — we want to make sure it’s our clients who benefit the most from the claims we win for them.
Care about clients & their families
Compensation claims generally come with high levels of stress, anxiety, and in some circumstances, trauma. It’s an experience that can affect our clients and their families. Our lawyers care about you and your family.
Work with integrity
Integrity is important in compensation law. To us, it means maintaining strong morals in all kinds of claims, relations, and processes. It means being transparent with all parties and winning your claim in a way that is fair.
