Your will...
...our expertise
You are often not alone when your legal rights have been infringed. Group actions (sometimes called mutli-party actions) are a way of people joining together to seek justice. They can make manageable cases that would – perhaps for financial reasons – not be practical as a single action. The collective strength a group gives to its individual members is not to be underestimated.
Hugh James’ specialist team has been at the forefront of group actions for over 15 years acting in many high profile cases.
We may be able to help whether you suffer from work related illness, have been involved in a major incident or have suffered as a result of a defective product.
Group actions also help provide access to justice where large numbers of people have been affected by another’s conduct, but where individual losses are so small that the action would otherwise not be economically viable.
Hugh James can help bring people together to fight what can be complex actions. We are well used to handling cases in the media spot light and helping our clients cope with a high profile cases.
Our team involves not just specialist lawyers but scientists and clinicians who assist us in areas of complexity.
We look for answers and solutions - not just compensation. If what you want is an apology that is what we will work for. We have a track record of success having secured agreements to prevent environmental damage, treatment for injured patients and rehabilitation for sufferers of posttraumatic stress disorder as well as recovering many millions in compensation in the last 15 years.
Legal costs are always a worry. We can provide innovative funding solutions to cover legal costs. We have handled many group actions on a ‘no win no fee’ basis and also Public Funding (Legal Aid) as members of the Legal Services Commission Multi-Party Action panel.
