Bob Buckingham is a lawyer in St. John's, Newfoundland who has extensive, professional legal experience representing survivors of sexual abuse, in particular individuals who have claims against the Christian Brothers of Ireland.

Shortly after becoming a lawyer, Bob Buckingham was retained by many men with sexual, physical and emotional abuse claims against the Christian Brothers of Ireland in Canada who had been residents at Mount Cashel Orphanage in St. John's, Newfoundland. Through that process he became involved with other individuals who were abused by Christian Brothers of Ireland at other Christian Brothers run institutions across Canada and other parts of the world.

The deadline for filing claims under the Christian Brothers of Ireland bankruptcy protection proceedings for sexual or other damages is 4:00 p.m. on August 1, 2012.

Bob Buckingham has the experience to assist the individuals, and welcomes contact by any survivors of abuse by the Christian Brothers from anywhere around the world.

In addition to his legal work with the Christian Brothers of Ireland sexual abuse survivors, Bob Buckingham presently represents individuals with claims against the United Church of Canada and Dr. Stephen John Collins who was a minister and doctor who worked for the United Church of Canada and the Canadian Bible Society as a missionary throughout Canada and overseas in the 1960s and 1970s. His firm welcomes inquiries from survivors of sexual abuse at the hands of Collins, the United Church of Canada or other organizations.
