We have one of the country's leading mesothelioma and
asbestos claims practices and we pursue claims on behalf
of those who have developed asbestos-related diseases.
Our mesothelioma and
asbestos team act on a 'no win, no

We have successfully concluded over 2,250 asbestos
compensation claims, recovering over £165 million damages on behalf
of sufferers and their families, throughout the UK and abroad.
We also raise funds for research into asbestos diseases. We have
raised more than £40,000 since 2003 as part of our corporate social responsibility.
Asbestos diseases are caused by inhaling asbestos dust a mineral
commonly used in the construction industry until the 1970s.. The
main diseases caused by inhaling
asbestos are:
- mesothelioma
- asbestosis
- lung cancer
- pleural thickening
People who have been exposed to asbestos include builders,
plumbers and shipyard workers, but teachers, children and nurses
are believed to have been put at risk since asbestos was used in
the construction of several schools and hospitals.
Families of those who work with asbestos can also be infected if
asbestos particles are brought into the home on clothes. It can
take more than 40 years for symptoms to show.
If you have developed any of these conditions and believe
that you have been exposed to asbestos contact one of our
specialist lawyers for information and legal advice.
