Deema Dermelkonian

As an Associate in the Abuse Law Team at Slater and Gordon Lawyers, I have the privilege of representing and fighting for survivors of historical and institutional abuse.

Having practiced in the Abuse Law space for several years, I appreciate the bravery it takes for our clients to come forward and share their stories.

I also understand the difficulties our clients have faced and continue to face as a result of the abuse that they have suffered. Nevertheless, I am constantly awed by the resilience that our clients possess, which is a true testament to their strength and courage.

I am driven by achieving justice and maximising my clients’ claims, and I am certainly not afraid to take on and hold accountable large institutions and insurance companies for their failures.

I have a unique compassion which allows me to empathise with my clients, which I then put towards fighting hard for their legal rights.

My priority is ensuring my clients are provided with clear and comprehensive legal advice during a difficult and sometimes draining process. I pride myself on being approachable and informative, and always developing a strong team like relationship with my clients, based on trust and transparency.

In my spare time, I will either be at the beach with a book in hand, or spending time with my family and cat.
