Roop Sandhu 
Lawyer, Sydney
Asbestos
Making sure that his clients are looked after is uppermost in Roop Sandhu’s approach to his legal practice in asbestos. He knows that circumstances are difficult enough for anyone suffering from an asbestos-related illness without the addition of worry about their claim.
Quick on his feet and easy to communicate with, Roop considers that helping people who have been wronged obtain fair compensation is one of the most satisfying aspects of his job.
Many of Roop’s clients are retired or approaching retirement age and pursuit of their asbestos claims are tasks he handles with care, attention to detail and sensitivity.
Roop graduated from the University of New South Wales in 2004 and, attracted by “the opportunity of working with Australia’s foremost plaintiff law firm,” began working at Slater & Gordon in the same year.
“The most important aspect of my work is making sure the client is looked after and reducing their worries around their claim.”

Client Testimonials
"Roop, what I am trying to express, is the kindness and dedication you have to both your clients (my Mum and Dad) and your vocation as a lawyer. I can’t thank you enough for your consideration and effort you put into Dad’s case. The manner in which you presented yourself to my parents and the ongoing contact with them was nothing short of exceptional.
I can honestly say the manner in which you and your company have acted on behalf of our family was tremendous. The final outcome was beyond all expectations. Again, although it will not help Dad, the thought knowing that Mum will be secure, has placed his mind at ease and has given him one less worry."
