Why come to us:

We act on behalf of insurers and employers facing claims from employees following incidents at work or ‘long-tail’ claims from employees claiming compensation for diseases allegedly contracted during the course of their employment. With the size of awards growing and the start of ‘forum shopping’ where an employer in one country may become liable for injuries caused to employees in another country, businesses and their insurers need expert advice from legal advisers who have experience in this complicated area of law. That’s us.

How we can help:

Our employers' liability lawyers advise on coverage issues and policy interpretation, how best to handle and manage complaints, inspections and prosecutions. Most of our work involves large, complicated, high-profile claims. We are increasingly providing large, international businesses with advice on how to limit their exposure to claims beyond the UK.

What we’ve done:

Our employers' liability lawyers have experience in fighting claims for all types of bodily injuries and occupational diseases, including asbestosis and other respiratory disorders, acoustic shock and deafness, repetitive strain injury and skin disorders.
