Asbestos Claims Specialist Solicitors Welcome Increase to Mesothelioma Compensation Scheme Awards

Learn More: www.hja.net/expert-comme...

DMPS compensation is rising by 49% but only for those diagnosed after Nov 4, 2025.

Partner, Isobel Lovett welcomes this long-overdue rise, but we must address the delay and lack of retrospection meaning many victims have already missed out on justice.

We’re delighted the #Legal5002026 Guide has recognised Isobel Lovett, Head of our Asbestos & Workplace Illness Team, under the category “Leading Partners”. We maintain our overall ranking reflecting the experience, expertise and client care of our whole team, including partner Lorna Webster.

Asbestos exposure in the Armed Forces is an underreported crisis.

Veterans exposed to asbestos face stricter limits on compensation than civilians. In her blog, Legal Assistant, Alisa Ahmad explains why the current legal framework leaves too many behind and what needs to change.

If you or someone you know has been exposed to asbestos through work, Cape products, or contaminated clothing and need legal advice on compensation, contact our Asbestos & Workplace Illness Team on 0330 822 4953 for confidential, expert support.

Sign the Petition Cape Must Pay. We demand that Cape donate £10 million to fund mesothelioma research

Cape Intermediate Holdings, linked to thousands of asbestos-related deaths, holds £165.5M in reserves but hasn’t funded #mesothelioma research. We’re calling on them to donate £10M to help improve survival rates and support the search for a cure.

Trial gives new hope for patients with asbestos-linked cancer For the first time researchers in Southampton have used a drug to slow the growth of mesothelioma.

Researchers in Southampton found that the drug niraparib slowed asbestos-related Mesothelioma progression by 27%. Patient James Fox, diagnosed in 2018, says it’s given him “seven really good years.” A major step forward in the fight against #Mesothelioma.
