We are specialist Group Action Lawyers. But what does that mean? How do we set ourselves apart from other firms that also engage in this type of work?<\/p>\n

As our name suggests – the<\/em> Group Action Lawyers – this is what we specialise in and what we focus on when it comes to the legal work that we undertake for clients. We have been working in some of the biggest group actions in the UK and across the world for years, and the way we work means that we are set up to be able to take on some of the biggest companies in the world.<\/p>\n

Here is how we do this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We are specialist Group Action Lawyers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We are specialist Group Action Lawyers. This means that most of the work that our firm undertakes involves large group and multi-party actions, sometimes known as class actions. This can entail caseloads of hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of clients. There\u2019s really no limit, so it could be that an action has millions of people involved in it.<\/p>\n

We are, and have been, involved in over 45 different actions to date. These range from some of the biggest consumer actions ever, like the group action claims for the VW (and Audi, Skoda and SEAT) diesel emissions scandal<\/strong><\/a>, to some of the most sensitive data actions like the 56 Dean Street Clinic leak<\/strong><\/a>. We have also been appointed to Steering Committees, including for the first GDPR Group Litigation Order (GLO) proceedings in England and Wales, the British Airways data breach<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

We also have funding and insurance options for actions that we take forward which we have used in the past, and we offer No Win, No Fee representation<\/strong><\/a>. Our infrastructure is set up for us to take new actions forward quickly as we look to make sure that we can help large volumes of people who need specialist group action representation from us.<\/p>\n

What makes us specialists?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What makes us specialist Group Action Lawyers? The easiest way to show you is to explain a little about our history and how we work, so you can understand for yourself.<\/p>\n

We have touched on this above with our set up and our experience, but what does this mean for our clients?<\/p>\n

For our clients, it means that we can take effective action right away. When a new action arises, many law firms will just register people\u2019s information with the view to then treading carefully and taking action later if they can (or when others have taken the lead as we often find!)<\/p>\n

However, we do things differently. When we know that we can take an action forward, we take action right away.<\/p>\n
