About

Provided by Slater and Gordon Lawyers

Our Industrial Disease department consists of a highly specialist team of lawyers with a breadth of knowledge across all areas of industrial disease including mesothelioma and asbestos related illness, occupational asthma, occupational cancers, occupational dermatitis, VWF/HAVS and noise
induced hearing loss. 

The high standard of expertise including long standing relationships with a number of large Trade Unions means we offer a service unlike any other law firm. We’re also on legal panels for Asbestos Support Groups around the country.

Our specialists are able to pursue the most complex of claims and lead the way in terms of ground-breaking law. We’re also renowned for achieving the highest possible settlements for our clients.

Although we pride, ourselves on the expertise and best possible outcome we provide our clients in respect of their case, our dedication doesn’t stop there. Cases of industrial disease, can often lead to other issues which may require legal advice. We provide our clients with a range of legal services from a host of specialist lawyers to relieve any additional burden at what can be an extremely difficult time.

There are also a range of non-legal services which we are able to offer our clients to assist them in a range of practical issues to reduce stress at what can be a difficult time, such as welfare benefits advice.
