We act for private individuals and institutions in some of the largest and most innovative claims in this expanding area. We have acted against asset managers and the promoters and managers of failed collective investment schemes, taxation mitigation schemes and fund-raises.

Consumer Rights

We represent borrowers, homeowners and people in all walks of life who have encountered mis-selling and other kinds of unlawful behaviour.

Competition

Individuals and businesses can claim damages from those who have harmed them by their anti-competitive agreements or abuse of a dominant market position. Our competition damages cases cover infringement of the Competition Act 1998 prohibitions on anti-competitive agreements and abuse of dominance.  These cases can be heard in the High Court or the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT).  The CAT is the specialist forum for competition law-based group litigation, where claimants can bring opt-in and opt-out class actions.

Cyber, Data & Privacy

We act for individuals, groups of people, and corporates in complex cyber, data and privacy disputes. We also represent groups of claimants in large collective media, information and communications claims.
